My communication style

I create a client-centered environment for my clients. I am a very directive and feedback-oriented therapist. I believe a collaborative, working relationship is necessary to build trust and create change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became interested in therapy while earning my first degree. I originally wanted to go into the medical field, but I realized that in the world of trauma, it would be difficult to find time to raise a family. I wanted to help people, and counseling is where I landed.

My goals for you

Goal setting is based on my clients and their goals. I do not set goals for my clients; however, I do facilitate an environment of accountability in which they can set achievable SMART goals.

Our first session

In the first session, clients should expect to get to know one another and begin building rapport. The intake session typically covers the client's primary reason(s) for beginning therapy and any previous history in therapy.
