Great to meet you!

Greetings!

Telehealth has been an enjoyable modality of therapy to meet clients in the comfort of their home. I welcome pets on screen. I am available Sunday and Tuesday evenings for session.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a combination of person centered and cognitive behavioral therapy as my primary treatment methods, strongly believing each person is capable of getting through life with support and compassion. Along with a warm treatment environment, I utilize education and empathetic support to provide a sense of safety and comfort to address the client’s choice in topics. I frequently work with those struggling with depression, stress, difficult life transitions, anxiety, and relationship distress.

What you can expect from me

I exhibit genuine warmth, compassion, and cultural humility. Doing my best to understand and value differences. I enjoy providing education on mental health and relationships. Clients can expect to learn skills and coping mechanisms to improve management of mental health. I am open to feedback and hearing what does or does not work for you as you are the expert on your life.
