My communication style

I tend to bring humor to sessions. I know that therapy and working through things are difficult because they hold you accountable for making change. Change is never easy, even when it's something you want, and I try to make an already hard process easier. I also listen with intent and explore the words you're not saying.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always felt that supporting people was how I wanted to move through life. I love helping others take perspectives to build functional communication and strengthen interpersonal relationships.

My goals for you

I'll talk about long-term goals you'd like to achieve in therapy and then create smaller goals, working on each component to create overall change and an environment where you'll have continued success.

Our first session

I love to hear about why you chose therapy at this time, as well as validate any potential barriers to service. I often discuss the "worst advice ever received," as it's helpful in understanding your unique style of receiving interventions.
