My communication style

My communication style is very transparent, open, and humorous. No matter the topic difficulty, there is rarely a time when we are not laughing in session. I am relational, deeply compassionate, and work with you side by side as a team. I work hard to create a space of safety and trust as well as a space of accountability, truth, and empowerment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started in the field in 2007 and have moved through most mental health and developmental disability systems. From working in the home with children and families, the school system, correctional system, and everywhere in between, I have seen a side of humanity most do not. No matter the scenario, one thing is consistent: the beauty of the heart.

My goals for you

Your initial session will be a space to explore intentions, desires, and goals for our time together. We will continue to check these throughout your experience. Some clients prefer to focus on worksheets/workbooks, while others prefer intuitive-driven sessions. Appropriate activities will be given to help you meet your goals in and out of session.

Our first session

Our first session together is all about making you feel comfortable. I know even if you are eager to start exploring your mental health, there can be nerves and worries that can arise. This is our time to make sure you feel at ease. We'll dive into goals, learning style, boundaries, and your story. You'll get to choose your flavor of therapy.
