My communication style

My communication style creates a welcoming, honest, calm, non-judgmental, and secure atmosphere that allows you to feel comfortable openly expressing your thoughts and feelings. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been naturally drawn to helping others through difficult times. My service as a Combat Medic helped solidify this drive. Working in healthcare provided me the opportunity to help individuals become a better version of themselves.

My goals for you

Goals are all about working together on what you want to accomplish and how to get there through setting achievable and measurable goals. Establishing trust and defining what it means to be in therapy are the first steps in this process.

Our first session

The first session is usually the most difficult, so anticipate that much of the time will be spent discussing your current feelings. My questions will help you understand why you might be feeling that way. The main goals are establishing rapport and determining our next steps together.
