My communication style

I like therapy to feel like you are speaking to a friend. I do not care for a clinical feel and often think of myself as a modern-day therapist. This is a no-judgment zone. I value the clients I work for and offer a humanistic approach. We are eye to eye.

My journey to mental healthcare

I vividly remember being at sleepovers, listening to my friends' problems, and offering them my most authentic self. Even now, I often say—though I have the degrees—therapy is me. I’m 100% passionate about this work and truly believe that everyone deserves a life they enjoy. You only get one.

My goals for you

When setting treatment goals, I begin by understanding your personal history and your desire to overcome your primary concern. I explore what you truly long for and what barriers may be standing in your way. Meaningful treatment goals cannot be created without first understanding your story, your efforts, and the obstacles you have gone through.

Our first session

I like to think of the first session as a "vibe session." It’s my opportunity to introduce myself and get to know you—what brought you to therapy, and what you’re hoping to gain from it. I believe it’s important that you feel connected to the person providing the therapy, so it doesn’t feel one-sided.
