My communication style

I have a warm, friendly communication style and love to laugh with my clients when it's appropriate to the subject. I may challenge you, but I strive to be gentle and understanding, especially with people who have rejection sensitivity or trauma.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been interested in psychology since I was in my late teens, but life had a lot of twists and turns before I became a counselor. I started out as a licensed massage therapist, which gave me a profound respect for the mind-body connection, before earning my Master's in Clinical Mental Health and expanding my ability to support others.

My goals for you

It's very important that our goals in therapy are goals that you actually want, and not ones that I've just decided for you! Therapy is a team effort. We'll talk about your struggles and strengths and work together on figuring out the journey.

Our first session

Many people feel anxious at their first session! That's ok. I usually give a lot of space for you to talk and try not to overwhelm you with questions. I will probably ask for details about your mental health symptoms, diagnoses, medications, safety, etc., but many of these things will also come up naturally as we talk.
