My communication style

Clients describe me as curious, dependable, and kind. I truly believe each client has many strengths and has shown resilience through their decision to seek counseling. I hope to help you highlight your strengths and build upon the skills you already have.

My journey to mental healthcare

I initially intended to become a special education teacher, but started working with foster children. I realized that many children and families face challenging and traumatic experiences. I changed my focus to become a therapist to work with individuals to cultivate their strengths.

My goals for you

I express empathy through careful listening and nonjudgmental curiosity about your presenting problem. By understanding and identifying your motivation to move toward change, I assist you in connecting to your values and creating action plans toward coping with emotions and achieving your goals.

Our first session

During the first session, you'll have the opportunity to share your experiences, struggles, and strengths. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, your symptoms, what you wish were different, and some history including childhood, relationships, living situation, and career.
