Three words that describe your therapy style

What can a client expect during their first few sessions with you?
A new client can expect to be welcomed into our environment at their own pace with a strong intention on building and strengthening our rapport.
What types of clients tend to work especially well with you?
Those open to alternative modalities, creative individuals, any who feel called to.
What inspired you to become a therapist?
It started with personal experience and grew into a desire to hold space, set boundaries, and support change to empower others.

They are open, understanding, and push me when I need the extra support.
What is something you wish more people understood about therapy?
It is not always a linear journey and may manifest in a multitude of forms; hence, there is not one size fits all and I treat every client individually.

Hiking, music festivals, reading, traveling, outdoor activities, yoga, and meditation.
