My communication style

Communication is vital in all relationships, and listening is its most important aspect. I strive to be an empathetic and compassionate listener so I can help you process thoughts and behaviors and create strategies for a healthier state of being. You can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where your voice is heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after experiencing significant life struggles, including loss and raising a special needs child. Through these experiences, I developed a deep desire to help others find peace and happiness. My greatest reward is seeing clients gain skills to live fully today, plan for tomorrow, and love themselves.

My goals for you

My approach includes working with you to address your struggles and create goals that decrease problems. I believe empowering you to develop and use these strategies gives you lifelong skills to manage challenges as they arise. Together, we'll build your confidence and resilience.

Our first session

I recognize the first session can create worry, and feeling nervous is normal. My main goal is creating a safe, supportive environment for open communication. I'll gather background information about what's affecting your life, discuss what you need from therapy, and address any questions or concerns you have.
