My communication style

My natural communication style is to listen first, ask questions, and provide feedback meant to spark conversation. I tailor our dialogue with the intent of learning more about you and your needs. Knowing your needs always leads the way to setting and achieving your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into becoming a therapist is steeped in my belief that we all have what we need to become who we desire. This always requires empathy, compassion, support, belonging, esteem, and safety. These are the pillars of health I incorporate into my personal and professional life.

My goals for you

Therapy and therapy goals are ever-changing. Some treatment goals are more short-term, and others are longer-term. Our sessions will be approached as a partnership. Reviewing goals, understanding what is working and what needs improvement, is the TREATMENT PROCESS. My job is to assist you in this journey.

Our first session

The first session is meant to set the tone of our newfound relationship. In order to formulate goals, I will ask questions and take an assessment. We will take it one step at a time, and I will outline the expectations of therapy. I always encourage potential clients to come prepared with at least three questions.
