About My Clients
My ideal client is someone who is ready to collaborate on meeting their goals! As the therapist, I'm not the 'leader' or 'expert' — I'm a co-pilot or a gentle guide in a client's therapy experience. If something isn't working (or even better, if something is!) I appreciate an open dialogue and willingness to try something different/new.
My Background and Approach
Before becoming a therapist, I was writer in both corporate communications and for small businesses. Driven by a deep passion for mental health and working with people on an individual level, I returned to school to get my MA in clinical counseling. My decade in business and working with many teams and individuals carried over into my therapy practice: I take a collaborative approach that considers the unique needs of every client. My style is to use a dash of humor, a healthy dose of realism, but most of all to use empathy and respect to meet my clients where they are at. Clients can expect collaboration and an energetic environment in their sessions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I grew up caring for a boy with Autism who helped shape my views of the world: Every single person deserves dignity, respect, and care—especially in the health care space. I continue to work with folx with individual and physical disabilities via the Special Olympics. This work is also at the core of my practice: ALL are welcome at Sona Behavioral Health.
