My communication style

I believe it's very important for you to feel comfortable, understood, and supported in therapy. I bring clear communication, respect, empathy, and a down-to-earth approach. My goal is to provide a balance of listening, giving you clinical feedback, and providing tools and resources when needed.

My journey to mental healthcare

I found myself gravitating towards supporting friends and family as far back as I can remember, to provide them with a listening ear or comforting words. Seeing my clients feel lighter, embracing self-reflection and self-empathy during human moments, and using healthier tools to navigate relationships and life, keeps me motivated in this work.

My goals for you

I get to know you initially by gathering your history and current struggles. We create your treatment goals collaboratively by identifying your needs and what you want to improve. Together, we will periodically review your progress with goals and how therapy is going, to celebrate growth, or identify barriers in treatment, and changes needed.

Our first session

You can expect me to begin getting to know you by asking questions about how you've been feeling, what may have contributed to your difficulties, and questions about you and your life story. Although the focus is primarily to gather history and create goals, I try to offer you one coping tool to help you begin working on feeling better.
