My communication style

Open communication and empathy are priorities in my practice. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive environment for clients. I want my clients to feel heard and seen, which allows them the opportunity to be vulnerable, have hard conversations when needed, and find their voice again.

My journey to mental healthcare

While in college, I had my first experience with therapy. During this experience, I realized what a privilege it is to hold space and be present with another human being during a vulnerable moment, and thus began my journey to where I am today. I have learned how resilient human beings are and the impact of healthy relationships for healing.

My goals for you

Therapy is a personal and vulnerable journey, and it is my privilege to be by your side to provide guidance as you work towards your personal goals. Together, we will identify areas that are important to you and that you want to address in therapy. Along the journey, if new areas arise, we can incorporate the new areas of focus into therapy.

Our first session

During the first session, we will identify what you are hoping to gain from therapy, and you will have the opportunity to see if we will be a good fit to work together. I will let you know more about myself, and you have the opportunity to ask me questions. You may feel nervous, and I hope to ease some of the worry as we get to know one another.

I identify as...
