Get To Know Me
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I am a very open, curious and empathic person which allows me to come to each session with my clients with an open, curious mind. Judgement does not come into sessions - what might be "right" for me or someone else does not matter; what matters is what works for the client. I also have a relaxed, quiet sense of humor which comes out from time to time in session. There is room for appropriate humor and laughter in session, which creates the space for different perspectives and brings the human-ness to some of life's hardest challenges.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
After the initial few sessions I invite the client to share what they would like to gain from participating in therapy. I guide clients to turn those into goals that fit for them. After working together for some time, I may see additional things, or the client may point out additional things, that the client might like to address in sessions. It is always up to the client what they choose to address since therapy is for them and about them.
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
I wish people knew that participating in therapy is for everyone and has nothing to do with being sick or crazy. We can all find things of benefit to taking time and making effort to make positive changes in our lives. The therapist is there to be a guide and supporter.

Education
Argosy University, Rosslyn VA, Counseling, 2013 — My training at Argosy University focused on counseling skills for community based agency work. I completed internships in a drug and alcohol program and a children and families agency.
Work HistoryMy work history includes working in a small group practice providing services to children through adults in the state of Maryland. I later worked at Community Mental Health agency in the Pacific Northwest which gave me the opportunity to help clients with a wide variety of mental health concerns and to collaborate with a skilled team of practitioners.
My experience providing counseling to children and teens and as a parent have led me to offer support to parents managing challenges with their children, from birth to adult.
I currently focus my practice on helping clients with managing anxiety, life transitions, retirement, grief and loss, and parenting. Any other issues are always welcome !
