My communication style

I prioritize a clear, open communication style to facilitate a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere. My focus is on active listening and reflection, giving you the opportunity to open up and explore your feelings and experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am what I like to call a 'second-generation therapist.' My father is a therapist, and I grew up in a household where mental health was often at the forefront of discussion. Even so, it took me some time exploring myself before I came to this profession as the answer. Those experiences give me additional perspective, which I use to help.

My goals for you

From my perspective, therapy is a partnership about filling a 'toolbox.' Each time we meet, the goal is to examine what tools are in the toolbox and if these tools are working. Then we add new tools to the toolbox. The real meat and bones of therapy is what happens between sessions, when you go out into your life and test these new tools.

Our first session

Sessions focus on building and maintaining a healthy emotional awareness and vocabulary for communicating those emotions to others. You can expect to come away from sessions with new coping strategies, tools, and 'tricks' to practice between sessions to help improve your mental and emotional well-being.
