My communication style

People tell me I'm easy to talk to and comfortable to work with. When you work with me, expect compassion, occasional tough love when needed, guidance, and patience -- we might even laugh! I value your time and want to be helpful to you.

My journey to mental healthcare

Why do I do this? Plain and simple -- I love helping people. From the time I was a teen, I was frequently told I was a good listener, and I was easy to talk to. When I was ready for a career change, I decided to become a therapist and put many of my people skills to use. I've enjoyed every minute of it!

My goals for you

Reaching goals takes time and attention. When you set a goal, I will help you set the objectives necessary to reach those goals. I want you to succeed! If a goal is not met, we will work together to review the goal, set reasonable expectations, and offer you encouragement to get there.

Our first session

Our initial session is "Getting to Know You" -- where we ask each other questions and find out if it's a good fit. I may ask about your treatment goals, background, and family history to establish who you are and what you'd like to work on in therapy.
