My communication style

I praise your strengths and help externalize challenges. I share stories and scenarios to see what resonates with you, and I describe feelings with empathy as if I'm sharing in the experience. Expect warmth, flexibility, and genuine connection.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, I noticed people focused on physical health while ignoring emotional well-being. I realized they're interconnected. After my own introspection, I decided I wanted to live a good life—and help others do the same.

My goals for you

I help you clarify what you want and need, get emotionally invested, and see that your goals are more attainable than you might think. Sometimes it flows naturally; other times I use motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques.

Our first session

I mix getting to know you with any necessary intake questions to keep things personal. We'll explore where you are today, what brought you here, and what therapy means to you. I'll share how therapy can be broader than expected, and we'll set goals together before ending with rapport building.
