My communication style

Communication is key. Honest, open, direct communication from counselor and client is essential to the therapeutic process. I encourage and invite you to be yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I knew I wanted to be a helper from a young age. I shifted from medicine, pharmacy, and a host of other areas. I spent many years in pharmaceutical retail management and decided to return to graduate school to become a counselor. I have worked with children, adults, families, and couples since starting in the mental health field 16 years ago.

My goals for you

The first step in reaching goals is to be honest with ourselves about what we want to accomplish. After that, we will work as a team to help you meet your goals. If you want to focus on one area at a time, that's fine. If you want to learn skills and strategies to incorporate in a variety of areas of functioning, we can do that!

Our first session

Our first session is to get to know one another, review your wants/needs in counseling, gather information about services you may have tried in the past, or medications you may be taking. There will be time for you to ask about counseling/the therapeutic process. We will hopefully begin learning basic coping skills to use between sessions.
