My communication style

Therapy depends on trust through communication, so assessing compatibility of our styles is important. I'm empathetic yet direct with an inquisitive orientation. I validate your experiences while gently challenging unhelpful cognitions when appropriate. I attune to both spoken words and what remains unspoken.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with a psychology course that sparked fascination with human behavior. Around that time, a family member shared therapy's profound impact on their well-being, which destigmatized it for me. I saw becoming a mental health professional as a viable and meaningful way to help my community.

My goals for you

I believe developing therapy goals is most effective when collaborative and clinically informed. We'll explore your values, challenges, and desired changes—ensuring your voice is central. I offer clinical insight to shape realistic, measurable goals. We'll revisit them regularly to assess progress and adjust as needed.

Our first session

The first session can feel scary—this is normal. I want to assure you we'll focus on providing information to help you decide about engaging in therapy. We'll discuss what brought you here, your goals, strengths, and anything important for me to know. I invite questions. At the end, we'll discuss whether to proceed together.
