1. How would you describe your therapy style in everyday language?

My therapy style is relational, collaborative, and creative. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership, not a lecture. We'll explore what's on your mind together, get curious about your experiences, and find approaches that fit you. Some days we might be talking through life's challenges, and other days we may be creating, reflecting, or trying a new coping skill. Healing doesn't have to fit into one box.

​

2. What type of client do you tend to connect with best?

I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults—generally ages 10 to 50—who are open to growth and ready to better understand themselves. I welcome clients of all genders and especially enjoy working with people who appreciate looking at mental health through a holistic lens, recognizing that our minds, bodies, relationships, and experiences are all connected.

​

3. What do clients usually appreciate most about working with you?

Clients often tell me they appreciate how flexible and engaging our sessions feel. Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither am I. If you come in knowing exactly what you want to talk about, we'll go there. If you're feeling stuck, don't worry—I always come prepared with activities, conversation starters, or creative exercises that help get the process moving in a way that feels natural.

​

4. How do you help clients feel comfortable when they are nervous, guarded, or unsure about therapy?

There's no rush here. I believe trust is earned, not expected. We move at your pace, honor your boundaries, and build a strong foundation before diving into the harder conversations. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself, knowing you'll never be pushed before you're ready.

​

5. What topics, life experiences, or mental health concerns do you feel especially called to support?

I'm especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating eating disorders, body image concerns, OCD, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. These experiences can affect every part of life, and I enjoy helping clients reconnect with themselves, build healthier coping skills, and move toward greater confidence and self-compassion.

​

6. What should a new client know about what it feels like to sit in session with you?

Expect a space that's warm, welcoming, and full of curiosity. Therapy with me feels like exploring together rather than trying to find the "right" answer. You don't have to come in with everything figured out. We'll ask questions, notice patterns, celebrate progress, and discover new perspectives along the way.

​

7. Outside of your clinical work, what are 2–3 things that show your personality?

I'm a creative at heart. I love making art, listening to music, getting lost in a good book, and taking long walks to clear my mind. I also believe life should include plenty of laughter, so don't be surprised if my playful side shows up from time to time. Sometimes being a little silly is exactly what we need.

​

8. Do you use humor, pop culture, storytelling, faith/spirituality, homework, journaling, or practical tools in your sessions? If so, how?

Absolutely! I enjoy using humor, storytelling, and conversations about culture to make therapy feel relatable and engaging. If homework feels helpful, I'm happy to provide it—but only if it supports your goals. I also love incorporating Internal Family Systems (IFS) character cards, hands-on art activities, and even building personalized coping skills boxes that clients can take home and use long after our sessions end. Therapy should be practical, meaningful, and sometimes even a little fun.

​

9. What is one misconception people may have about therapy that you wish you could clear up?

One of the biggest misconceptions is that therapists are here to fix people or tell them what to do. That's not my role. My job is to listen deeply, notice patterns, ask thoughtful questions, and create a space where you can discover the strengths, wisdom, and tools that have been within you all along. Therapy isn't about becoming someone different—it's about becoming more fully yourself.
