Get To Know Me
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
In your story, there isn't a right or a wrong. We all have experiences we can learn from. I aim to approach your story with empathy, compassion and thoughtful questions so we can find the next step forward, regardless if the outcome is what we are aiming for or is another step forward towards the life you deserve.
What does a first session with you look like?
I know that meeting a therapist for the first time can be bring many emotions to the table- excitement, nerves, fear. I embrace it all with you!
Before we meet, we’ve likely had a brief 15-minute call or exchanged some emails having gone over any initial questions or concerns. I would’ve also sent you some documents, and once those were completed, we got your first session scheduled.
At the time of our session, I might take a moment to go over some logistics—Did the paperwork make sense? Who is this therapist? What does a therapist under supervision mean? How can this therapist help? But then comes the most enlightening part: getting to know you. I may have a little insight from your paperwork, but I want to hear your story from the source… you!
Our first session might feel like a miix of logistical and a “getting to know you” phase, and that’s completely normal, it’s a step in the journey of becoming the best version of yourself!

Training/CertificationsGraduate Certificate in Expressive Art Therapy
Education
Prescott College, Master of Science, Master of Science in Counseling, 2024 — During my master I added an expressive art therapy certificate utilizing art therapy modalities in treatment. This training doubled my graduate clinical experiences adding some creativity to my sessions when a client wants.
Work HistoryI worked for a mental health clinic with ages 10 and up in groups and one-on-one. DBT known as dialectical behavior therapy, focuses on building awareness, managing stress, identifying feelings and expressing our wants and needs to others, while hearing them out as well. Over time I found ways to teach these lessons through, straightforward learning, storytelling, conversation, and creative projects. I was able to bring artsy projects to groups and hear peoples stories in individual sessions. I never knew what each day would bring but I would come everyday ready to listen.
