My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and direct. I listen closely to what you share, reflect what I hear, and gently challenge unhelpful patterns when needed. I aim to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel understood and encouraged. In session, you can expect a balance of empathy and practical feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path into the mental health field began at a very young age. As the youngest child in my family, I often found myself “parentified,” carrying responsibilities beyond my years. I also experienced grief early on, losing my maternal grandmother. These experiences shaped me, fueling my passion to become the kind of provider I once needed.

My goals for you

We are human, and like life, we each have many layers shaped by our unique experiences. I see therapy as the effort of showing up for yourself—committing to growth while holding yourself accountable to your goals. Together, we’ll identify what matters most to you, and as new challenges or insights come up.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you—your story, your goals, and what brings you to therapy at this moment. I’ll ask questions to better understand your background and experiences, while also giving you space to share at your own pace. Together, we’ll begin identifying what you’d like to work on and outline a plan.
