My communication style

I’m interested in understanding your lived experience and what feels most important to you, rather than assuming goals on your behalf. Together, we’ll explore what matters most in the change you’re hoping for, as well as what’s been feeling difficult so that your priorities guide you in a way that feels meaningful.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist grew from noticing how people can appear fine while quietly carrying significant struggles. I became drawn to the resilience I saw in others—the way we often feel alone, yet continue moving forward. I’ve learned how powerful it is to have someone truly listen and connect, and how that support can make a meaningful

My goals for you

We’ll turn larger goals into manageable, intentional steps that fit your life. I’m flexible when something isn’t working—we can adjust, learn from it, and try again. Progress doesn’t have to be perfect; it’s about understanding what works for you and building on it.

Our first session

It’s normal to feel nervous in a first session. I’ll take time to get to know you—not just the concerns bringing you in, but the many parts of who you are and your story. We’ll also explore what led you to seek support now, so we can begin building a clear, comfortable foundation for our work together.
