My communication style

My communication style is warm, friendly, and grounded in patience and understanding. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where clients feel truly heard and supported. Tolerance and nonjudgment are at the heart of my approach, allowing individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings openly without fear of criticism.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began during my undergraduate years, where I worked with support groups, fostering connection and resilience among individuals facing various challenges. I deepened my experience by supporting adults with dementia and developmental delays, which enriched my understanding of diverse needs and perspectives.

My goals for you

Goal-setting with clients is a collaborative process where, together, we identify meaningful and achievable objectives based on your individual needs. We will break larger goals into manageable steps, fostering a sense of progress and accomplishment. This approach ensures that your therapy remains focused and will allow us to track your growth.

Our first session

During the first therapy session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we focus on building rapport and understanding your concerns. We'll discuss your background, goals, and what you hope to gain from therapy. This session is also an opportunity to ask questions, clarify expectations, and collaboratively begin.
