My communication style

Throughout my career, I have been told I am very easy to talk to. I am open, open-minded, and use humor when appropriate. I am a good listener and feel that communication and rapport are the cornerstones of therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I had a rocky upbringing as a kid. I can clearly remember that around the age of 12, I knew I wanted to help people when I grew up. I started working in the mental health field, not having a clue what I was doing! Luckily, I have gained valuable experience throughout my career in the field.

My goals for you

When setting goals in therapy, I rely on the client to identify what they want to accomplish. I just provide the roadmap on how they can achieve their goals.

Our first session

In sessions, I provide a judgment-free, safe space to focus on your needs. I treat my clients with respect, dignity, warmth, invitation, and attention. I will be with you through the whole process.

I identify as...

• Female
