Questions and Answers
Q: What are your hobbies?
A: I love being outdoors hiking, camping, and heading out to the mountains or a lake. Yoga, reading, and dancing are also activities I appreciate. Quality time with friends, family, and my two cats, Charlie and Lulu, brings me immense joy as well.
Q: What is a favorite quote of yours?
A: “What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Q: What can you expect from a session with me?
A: Every therapy session is uniquely tailored to the client I am supporting, and how they present when they show up to a session. I believe in being flexible and adopting each session to what a client’s needs are both in the moment, as well as with their long-term therapy goals. I hold space for when we are going to difficult places, challenge perspective when I feel is appropriate, and I compliment that with laughter and warmth. Because of my eclectic approach to therapy, the modalities I use from one session to the next may shift to what my experiences and expertise thinks would be best at the time.
