My communication style

I'm direct yet casual. You can expect real conversation and honest observations, not a therapist who nods along for 50 minutes. I'll ask questions you may not have asked yourself, and I'll check in on what's helping and what isn't. I encourage my clients to give feedback if something is helpful or unhelpful.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this work in community mental health, where I saw how much can change once someone feels understood rather than managed. What I valued most was watching people learn to help themselves. That's still the goal: for you to leave therapy trusting your own judgment.

My goals for you

Early on, we'll get clear on what you want to be different, in plain language rather than clinical terms. From there, we break it into steps small enough to actually take between sessions. We revisit your goals as we go, since what matters at the beginning of therapy isn't always what's important after you've started making progress.

Our first session

The first session is mostly about getting to know you, including what's bringing you in, what you've already tried, and what you'd like to be different. I'll ask questions and share early impressions. You don't need to have it figured out or know the right words. By the end, we'll have a starting point and you can decide if I'm the right fit.
