My communication style

I believe that clear and transparent communication is the foundation of a strong therapeutic relationship. As such, I strive to create a warm and non-judgmental space where you feel safe to express yourself freely. By fostering open communication, I can better understand your unique experiences and together we can work towards your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy because it is my deeply held belief that no one is immune to hardship or trial, that we all deserve empathy and support in our most challenging moments. The more grounded we are in ourselves, the better we can be in the world. I appreciate the great strength it takes to expose the most vulnerable parts of ourselves to others.

My goals for you

Sometimes clients have a clear sense of where they are and where they would like to be, and for others, the future feels murky and unsure. All are welcome here. Through a collaborative process, we will work together to identify what you want to work on. We will ensure that your goals are both realistic and aligned with outcomes shown in therapy.

Our first session

Our first session will focus primarily on increasing my understanding of your therapeutic needs. It takes time to build trust, so we will always proceed at the pace that feels most comfortable to you. Many clients come to the therapeutic space with clear likes and dislikes for the process, so I want to hear what approach has worked well for you.
