My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want you to feel comfortable talking with me about anything. I listen without judgment and use compassion, empathy, and validation. I also work closely with you to reframe experiences to reduce distress and promote empowerment and gratitude.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I've always been drawn to helping people through difficult times. I'm a strong believer in self-empowerment, and I enjoy seeing individuals come into their own and become the best versions of themselves.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust and getting comfortable with therapy. Over time, we'll set goals and track your progress.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently, and I'll ask questions to better understand why. The first session is about building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. I like to listen first before assuming what will work best for you.
