My communication style

I'm very laid-back and casual. Whatever you're bringing to me will be met with compassion and non-judgment. I've also been told I'm very blunt, direct, and honest. Therapy can also be about learning some hard truths about yourself. I prioritize honesty between us, so I'm open to feedback if we're going to fast or getting too intense.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own mental health struggles are what led me to become a therapist myself. More recently, my struggles as a mom to a neurodivergent child have led to me support neurodivergent teens and their parents in their journey of diagnosis and treatment.

My goals for you

Your goals should be yours to set: they should be realistic and attainable, but healthy and sustainable too. Its my job to help make sure those criteria are in place so we can help you meet your goals together! Then we set mini-goals every week to help you meet the big goals long-term.

Our first session

Our first session will be fun as we get to know each other and share our struggles and commonalities. You will tell me what brings you to therapy, your goals, and what made you decide to finally seek help. I would also love it if you would tell me what scares you about this process so that I can help to allay those fears!
