My communication style

I work collaboratively with clients. This means that therapy with me feels equal. I respect what each client thinks will be most helpful and work with the client to find an approach that is both comfortable and effective.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became interested in becoming a therapist when I was a foster parent for criminally delinquent teens. I wanted to work with an underserved population that had little control over their lives at that point. During my education and experiences during school, I became equally interested in working with adults also.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting in a formal way. I will ask what each client's goals are. I then work with the client to develop a plan for how to reach those goals.

Our first session

During the first session, I will have conversations with the client to learn about their history and any concerns they have. I will also review measured assessments to help give a more full picture of what might be going on. If time permits, I will also move into goal setting.
