My communication style

My communication style is warm, compassionate, open, and interactive. The therapy room—in person or virtual—is a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental space, allowing clients to be open and vulnerable. Together, we explore thoughts, feelings, emotional blocks, goals, and dreams.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I had a fascination with human behavior and relationships, as well as a passion for art. I am a big believer in different chapters in life and allowing oneself to learn and explore throughout life!

My goals for you

I work with clients to explore their goals in therapy and life and to find a path to achieving them. This involves learning about their life, relationships, current situation, and anything that may be getting in the way of experiencing lives of meaning, joy, and purpose.

Our first session

In a first session, I am interested in learning what brought a client to therapy at this time. Be it a specific event or experience, or a desire to gain self-awareness and make change, I ask questions about what life looks and feels like currently, and what they might like to focus on and/or change.
