My communication style

My warm, nonjudgmental, and empathic way of listening and sharing creates an environment where trust and safety can grow. Therapy is hard work, so I like to introduce a touch of humor when appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

Prior to pursuing a graduate degree and obtaining my Social Work license, I lived a full life. Through parenting and volunteering, I learned the value of patience and service, I listened attentively to the unique stories shared with me. After two decades, connecting therapeutically with clients still gives my life purpose and richness.

My goals for you

I have found that most clients come to therapy with general goals but need assistance identifying specific objectives to help them achieve those goals. Together, we will create assignments and actions for you to take between sessions, where the most important work of therapy often takes place.

Our first session

You can expect to be welcomed with warmth, respect, and genuine interest in you as a unique individual. My initial focus is on building trust and rapport, the foundation of a productive therapeutic relationship. I will listen carefully and seek information to assess what matters most to you. Your time is valuable, so be prepared for us to begin.
