My communication style

I'm down-to-earth, empathic, and I truly care about my clients and want to see them heal completely. My style is pretty laid back and also gently direct. I put my clients first and use a variety of tools to help them achieve their goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've had the desire to help others since my early 20s. I believe that with the proper treatment, people can heal from trauma and live happy, fulfilled, productive lives. The methods I've been trained in are super effective, gentle, and efficient, and it's very gratifying to see clients achieve major improvement in a relatively short period of time.

My goals for you

This typically takes place in the first session by asking you directly what you want to accomplish, how your life would be different if you didn't have these problems, etc. Sometimes I follow up with a Goals Worksheet to help further define and clarify what you want to accomplish.

Our first session

You should expect to feel accepted and validated and listened to, and heard. I will do my best to clarify and summarize what your issues are and what you are trying to solve or accomplish by seeking therapy. If time permits, I like to give you a tool you can begin using right away.
