My communication style

My communication with clients is warm, honest, and direct. I aim to always be my authentic self and provide unconditional positive regard to those I work with. I am friendly, kind, and respectful. I believe in providing as much information as possible about what to expect from therapy with me, and I often check in about what is working well.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my journey to becoming a therapist, in part because I wished I could have experienced therapy as a teen. I have always felt interested in a space where I could share what I was feeling. I was often the one to offer support to my family and friends growing up, and I wished for a space to vent and share what I felt without judgment.

My goals for you

I believe in building a collaborative experience when setting goals with clients. The start of therapy is focused on building rapport and getting to know the client. After gathering assessment information, I typically ask clients what they'd like to work on and how they might be able to recognize when things are improving.

Our first session

During the first session, clients can expect to be greeted with warmth in a welcoming environment. I always start the first session by sharing about confidentiality and the limits to confidentiality and by providing information about what clients can expect in sessions. I also create space to answer any questions clients may have.
