Therapeutic Style + Approach
What can clients expect during their first session with you?
During the first session, you can expect a low-pressure and gentle exploration of what brings you into treatment. We will spend some time getting to know each other, your history with therapy (if any), what has worked, and what hasn't worked in the past. You can anticipate a relaxed, safe, and non-judgmental space where you set the pace that is comfortable for you
Final Thoughts + Encouragement
If a client could only remember one thing after a session with you, what would you hope it would be?
Allow yourself to be yourself.

Therapy Philosophy
Personal Well-Being + Self-Care
How do you prioritize your own mental health and well-being?
Prioritizing my own mental health allows me to provide the best possible care for my clients. Capitalizing on well-being while off work involves giving myself permission to relax as well as continued engagement in meaningful hobbies. It’s all about balance.
How do you tailor your methods to meet the unique needs of each client?
WORKING WITH CLIENTS
I actively teach and encourage use of the feedback loop which allows me to best fit the needs of each individual.
Personal Touch + Personality
Can you share a fun fact or something unique about yourself?
In addition to my identity as a Professional Counselor & Music Therapist, I am active in the performing arts field as a professional vocalist & bassist. It is my strong belief that creativity fuels the soul. This unique perspective translates into my role as a mental health professional.
