Great to meet you!

I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings in my career and those varied experiences enhance my ability to relate and connect with a variety of clients and needs. I am direct, occasionally use humor, and am here for you!

My approach to therapy

I am a believer in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; how we see and interpret the world impacts how we react to it. However, nothing productive happens in therapy if there isn't trust and safety, so building those things is a top priority in the beginning of therapy.

What you can expect from me

I believe signing up for therapy can be a hard step to take so the first session doesn't have to be! Our first session will be talking through what brought you here and then giving you the support to help sustain you through the early days and weeks of this process!
