With over a decade in the mental health field, my journey has taken me through a diverse landscape of settings—community mental health centers, inpatient hospitals, and private practice. Each environment has its own rhythm and challenges, but one thing remains constant: the need for humor, compassion, and empathy in treating individuals facing mental health issues. Let me share a bit about how these elements play a role in my approach to therapy. I’ve learned that while mental health treatment is serious work, it’s also profoundly human work. It’s about walking alongside clients as they navigate their challenges, celebrating their victories, and offering support during their struggles. Humor can lighten the load, compassion can heal the wounds, and empathy can bridge the gap between isolation and connection. Each client’s journey is unique, and my role is to be a steadfast companion, using every tool at my disposal to help them find their way toward healing and growth.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session will be an like an interview. You will interview me to see if I am a good fit for you. I am a true believer that if a therapist and individuals don't click it is not going to be a good fit. I will give you a chance to ask me any questions regarding my therapy services so you may have a informed idea of how I may or may not work for you. There will be questions for you to assist me in understanding more about you and what is your situation.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I provide you with compassionate, empathic, and a little bit of humorous space to feel comfortable in being yourself . Meeting people where they are without judgement is the foundation of working to build a therapeutic alliance to assist individuals to the life they have known to be possible. Therapy can be difficult and the implementation of strategically placed humor can make it a little easier to navigate some of the hard things.
