My communication style

My communication style is supportive, empathetic, collaborative, and clear. I develop an easy conversational style to ensure you feel heard and understood. I'll ask questions for clarity and encourage you to ask questions about any areas of concern or curiosity about the counseling process.

My journey to mental healthcare

After working in an unfulfilling career, I began volunteering on a crisis line and witnessed the depth of need for counseling support. I realized that if I truly wanted to help people in a meaningful way, I would need formal training. I have returned to my original, simple goal of just wanting to help people who reach out.

My goals for you

I assist you in setting and reaching treatment goals by creating a safe, collaborative space where you feel empowered to express your needs, values, and desired outcomes. Together, we make goals clear, doable, and measurable in a comfortable, non-judgmental environment.

Our first session

A first session is about creating a foundation of trust and safety. I begin by walking you through the limits of confidentiality, particularly the exceptions. This is a protected space where you'll be treated with respect and care. I'll listen, answer your questions, and together we'll find understanding for what you desire to accomplish.
