My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and empowering. I am attuned to my clients and meet them where they are. I am developmentally sensitive, strengths-based, engaging, reflective, and curious.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a mother of three navigating learning disabilities, ADHD, and neurodiversity in my own family, I know how overwhelming it can feel without the right support. When my family received help through therapy, it was life-changing and inspired me to become a therapist.

My goals for you

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, so the first step is creating safety, connection, and trust. I get to know you through reflective, open-ended questions to understand your struggles, goals, hopes, and dreams. We collaborate in clarifying treatment goals and I provide evidence-based interventions, coping skills, and tools.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a warm welcome and a safe space where you can be yourself without judgment. I meet you where you are, answer questions, and get to know you. We gather your story, start developing treatment goals, and I might introduce tools you can use right away. We end with hope, collaboration, and a small next step.

I identify as...

• Female
