My communication style

I have a naturally calm, gentle, and empathetic demeanor. Because every person is unique, I engage with clients on an individual level using a flexible style that adapts to your needs. It is important to me to create a working relationship and build rapport in a manner that is consistently genuine, earnest, safe, and trustworthy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after leaving an abusive relationship and suffering tragic loss as a single parent. I felt sad and shattered, like I would never be happy again. With support from a wonderful therapist, my family, and others, I rebuilt and healed. I was inspired to help others climb out of their own dark places.

My goals for you

Goal setting is critical because your goals are the foundation of our relationship. Sometimes it can be hard to identify a goal, but it is a skill you'll improve with guidance and practice. I hope we'll work together to identify your goals, explore steps to accomplish them, and monitor your progress.

Our first session

It is natural to feel nervous during an initial session. Recognizing this, I first try to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Then, I weave the formalities in so they do not feel jarring. We will work on sharing where you are and exploring where you want to go. I want you to leave feeling hopeful!
