My communication style

I learned that I am collaborative and reflective. I ask clarifying questions to gain a deeper understanding of you. I see humor in things. I use many metaphors and analogies when I explain things.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I struggled to manage my own emotions as a teenager. I was curious why I felt so tense, why anger turned to tears, why I pretended feelings didn't exist. Pursuing this work helped me understand myself and expand my emotional vocabulary. Now I help others do the same.

My goals for you

I believe a goal is the direction a person is heading towards. I want to assist you in understanding where you are in the present moment, what your struggles are, and where you want to be in the near future. What enhancements do you want in life? What do you need to get there? What can we do together to make your time valuable?

Our first session

The first session is a get-to-know-you conversation. We'll talk about the past, present, and future. I'll ask questions and you're encouraged to share openly. I believe in letting the process unfold naturally without rigid expectations. It's also a chance to assess fit and ask yourself if you feel heard and understood.
