You're the driver, but I am your passenger princess (just kidding; I'll be your driving coach). I can't step on the gas for you, but I will help you feel confident as you face your fears, step on the gas, learn the skills, help you see your blind spots and enjoy the ride! My communication style My communication style and tone is approachable and direct; clients often say talking to me is like talking to a long-term friend you haven't seen in a while but picked up right where you left off. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist stem from 15 years of experience in working in the mental health field (as a Recreation Therapist). Simultaneously, I have had lived experiences that have altered myself and led me to do the work for myself; as an authentic therapist my clients and I have honest, transparent conversations about life lessons. My goals for you Clients and I typically collaborate on goals in our first session. I inquired about your immediate needs and share creative options to treatment utilizing a humanistic / solution focus approach. Our first session In our first session, we will talk about your symptoms, goals, laugh a little and get to know each other. You can ask me questions too; I strongly encourage you to therapist shop and find the provider that fits your needs and communication style.
