My communication style

My communication style is approachable, open, and sensitive to foster a safe and validating space. I pride myself on my accepting demeanor so you feel comfortable, supported, and heard. What I feel is most important to convey in sessions is a non-judgmental tone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've felt a deep sense of empathy for people in need since I was a teenager. Connecting with people on an individual level has always been a strength of mine. The most rewarding aspect of my work is the opportunity to connect with clients who need a guiding light to lead them back on the path they deserve.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is directly tied to the therapeutic rapport we build from the beginning. I believe you know yourself best, so I trust you to identify your goals with my help. A key component is understanding what to expect in therapy and how progress will be tracked.

Our first session

In the first session, we'll focus on your motivation to start therapy, what has and hasn't worked to address the issues you face, and your current support system and coping skills. Think of it as you taking the stage to tell me where you are in life and where you want to end up.
