My communication style

My communication style is relaxed and welcoming. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking to me about whatever is bothering them without fear of judgment. I want them to feel like they are journaling but receiving directed feedback and not just having to leave words on paper.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist after interning at a juvenile detention center as an undergraduate student. One thing that one of the clients in the facility mentioned that resonated with me was, 'I know better but no one ever listens to me. Here I know I can get a meal and keep my head on straight.'

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to establish real-life goals that matter to them. Together we develop realistic plans and strategies that help you move forward and start feeling better in your daily life.

Our first session

In our first session together, we will explore your feelings, and what brought you to therapy and begin building a connection. It is my hope that through the initial interview, I learn more about who you are, what your goals are, and how we can proceed in a way that best meets your needs.
