In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, my goal is for you to feel safe and heard. I will ask you background information to get to know you, as you feel comfortable to share. I will also ask you to briefly describe what may be bringing you to the appointment, and if you're unsure, we will uncover that together. By end of the session, we will have a beginning direction for treatment and intervention, and a feel for whether I am the right fit to help you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am a cause-oriented, loyal defender and advocate for those in need, striving to cultivate genuine relationships through sincere empathy. I excel in meeting my clients where they are emotionally and creating a safe and non-judgmental environment. I balance this along with providing the right amount of accountability. I work to guide my clients toward success in their treatment goals, while tailoring it specific to the client as no two clients are the same.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have had the privilege of working in multiple aspects of the mental health field. I have served clients of ages 9 years to 75 years of age within inpatient, outpatient, and emergency crisis settings. I have experience in individual, couples, and family counseling services. Throughout my career, I have heard from many clients of their negative experience with counseling, feeling "stuck", or that counseling has never made a difference. These statements are what motivate me to continue being a counselor. I want to break that pattern for individuals and provide them with a positive counseling experience filled with guidance, empathy, goals, resources, and results.
