My communication style

I am a pretty warm, friendly, laid-back therapist. I want people to feel comfortable being themselves, relax, and even look forward to therapy sessions. I model being authentic and emotional regulation, and I hope people leave the session feeling like things are going to be ok.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a reading specialist teacher, I was doing therapeutic work to help students and families. It was never just about academics, as there were often family dynamics, trauma, and self-esteem issues at play. I also became a career counselor, helping people navigate their feelings, values, and goals.

My goals for you

We set goals or intentions based on what you are hoping to achieve. It's your journey, I'm just there to help you navigate and get where you want to go.

Our first session

I keep first sessions very light and casual. I make sure to get the intake info I need, and then we just get to know each other and talk about hobbies, things you enjoy. I think it takes sessions to build trust, so it's actually a good sign if you don't feel like getting into the deeper stuff right away.
