My communication style

As stated, I approach all my sessions with kindness and love. I additionally provide honesty with all my kindness and love. If I think you are misleading yourself, I will provide you with that feedback. It will be with kindness, love, and a dash of humor. We come to therapy for help and I take that role very seriously and sacredly.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to be a therapist in my mid-to-late twenties. I realized that I wanted to help people feel loved and to learn how to love themselves in a world that teaches us all the ways we are not acceptable. It is one of my greatest joys when a client learns to love themselves inspite of their struggles and traumas. We are all inherently enough.

My goals for you

I look at your whole picture: mind-body connections and make necessary recommendations to help you. Treatment is customized and catered to meet your specific needs and goals. If an approach I am using isn't working, I will immediately change direction so that therapy meets your needs. This process is about 100% about you.

Our first session

During the first session, I will usually all the official housekeeping items first. Then we'll move on to talking about you and what brings you to therapy. You are invited to talk and share as much as you are comfortable. I might ask tough questions but if you aren't yet ready to talk about the hard stuff, we'll put it on pause for next time.
