My communication style

My counseling style is laid back and compassionate. I enjoy using an appropriate sense of humor in sessions. I focus on identifying your personal strengths and helping you utilize them to overcome obstacles. I offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after experiencing how counseling helped me through personal experiences. I'm driven to help people make sense of their experiences, reduce hopelessness, develop skills and tools, and heal in whatever way that looks like for them.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by asking what brings you to therapy and why now. What is most important to address, and what are your expectations for an ideal, realistic outcome? I use this to organize therapy goals, identify barriers, and track progress.

Our first session

A first session is to establish rapport and gather information I need to understand you. We discuss confidentiality, scheduling preferences, and I offer time for any questions you might have.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
