My communication style

I am here to listen, I tend to have a more interactive approach and will ask questions to facilitate introspection. I strive to be approachable and will meet clients where they are at.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been interested in mental health and find that being able to talk about our thoughts and emotions, and then process their impact on us, leads to better emotional stability. Having a safe place/person to share these with is critical. Growing up navigating a chronic illness (Type 1 Diabetes) from a young age inspired me to help others.

My goals for you

There will always be "goals" that clients are setting for themselves. These goals may change or evolve as therapy goes on, and learn what the most important values are to the client. Checking in on progress and evaluating progress at each step.

Our first session

Initial sessions are mostly about collecting a history, seeing what someone wants to get out of working with me, and then just getting to know each other. First sessions are more structured with questions and answer then subsequent sessions.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Non-denominational, Spiritual
