My communication style

I want to help my clients feel seen and heard using active, empathetic listening. I might offer suggestions, but I’m just as likely to ask more questions to support you in finding your own answers. I also throw in a little humor here and there, because we don’t have to be somber to take things seriously.

My journey to mental healthcare

Seeing the positive impact of art on children with special needs inspired me to complete a master's degree in art therapy. Though I tend more towards talking therapy nowadays, my experiences with art therapy and work in a variety of settings opened my mind to how many different things can be therapeutic.

My goals for you

You are the expert on what it is like to be you. We will work together to identify therapy goals that fit your life to help the overall course of therapy stay grounded, even if each session is flexible. We’ll choose a few baby steps and check back on the goals periodically to make sure you’re getting what you need out of the experience.

Our first session

The very first session may not feel like a regular therapy session. We will have to run through some intake paperwork and practical stuff. I will also ask a LOT of questions to get to know you, what’s important in your life, and what you want out of therapy. You can also ask me questions in the first or any following session.
