My communication style

I prioritize clear and open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. You should feel that you can express yourself freely and expect that I will be present. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner.

My journey to mental healthcare

Like many clinicians, I sort of fell into this without a lot of forethought. A required internship in an undergraduate psychology class led me down a path that has fit perfectly. Seeing the positive and profound effects that therapy (aka "change-work") had on my clients was nothing short of mind blowing.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a collaborative partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem (a personal specialty of mine) or another personal objective. Your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. this is normal and we can pivot and adapt as we go.

Our first session

A first session can set the stage for what is to follow. In my early training I was taught that this is a "meet and greet." Although that is good, I always wanted my clients to come away with something tangible or useful from that first session. Just talking "about" a problem didn't always seem like enough to me.

I identify as...
