My communication style

My style is relational, developing rapport, setting goals, and implementing coping methods. Reality therapy is used to help clients accept responsibility, improve relationships, and develop action plans for better choices, focusing on the "here and now" rather than the past.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked as a therapist since 2012 in a variety of settings: community clinics, hospitals, and private practice, focusing on areas of mental health. I have a Master's of Divinity Degree (MDIV), which has provided me an opportunity to work in the area of grief, loss, and end-of-life issues.

My goals for you

Clients will state their goals or discover their goals as therapy progresses. Together, we will monitor, add, or change goals. I journey with the clients and believe that the client has the answers. My role will be to listen and reflect back on their inner strengths and areas that may need improvement.

Our first session

Rapport building, active listening, goal setting, and sharing expectations of the client/therapist relationship. I will explain the use of handouts and homework assignments as tools to gain understanding of the work we are doing in session.
