Get To Know Me
What does a first session with you look like?
It's really up to you!
Yes, there's a little bit of boring paperwork stuff, but that will only take a couple of minutes.
Some clients come to the first session knowing exactly what they want to talk about. Others know they've been feeling "off" but don't really understand why. Maybe some people are looking to unpack the fallout of a negative family or romantic relationship.
I also understand it's impossible for anyone to describe the full context of their life-scenario in the course of a single session. That's where I can help provide some guidance to steer the conversation toward establishing an understanding of how to set achievable goals with the intent of creating internal momentum for positive change. In most first sessions, we begin to explore what "feeling better" even means.

Work HistoryOver the past 10 years my clinical work has ranged across emergency room crisis intervention, mental health diagnostics, group therapy, health insurance management, and connecting clients with local available resources.
That experience has shaped my approach to prioritize the importance of helping clients set and achieve their goals, while still navigating the very real challenges we all face. More specifically, I'm here to help you identify and leverage your existing strengths to create realistic and sustainable habits for issues such as burnout, depression, anxiety management, and difficulty communicating with others.
The evidence-based practices utilized in my work are:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Solution-Focused Therapy.
