My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real, down-to-earth conversation. During our sessions, I balance active, compassionate listening with gentle feedback and practical guidance, ensuring you always feel heard while also gaining actionable insights to take with you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my journey in the school system, where I loved supporting kids and working closely with their parents. When life threw me a curveball, it guided me into private practice and it turned out to be a wonderful shift. It opened the door for me to work with people of all ages and I have happily stayed in private practice ever since.

My goals for you

To help you reach your goals, we will focus on building a toolkit of concrete skills, like reframing anxious thoughts or practicing grounding techniques, that you can use between our sessions. We will regularly check in to see what is working, adjust our approach when things feel off, and celebrate your progress along the way.

Our first session

Our first session is all about taking a deep breath, getting comfortable, and getting to know each other at a pace that feels safe for you. There is no pressure to have everything figured out; we will simply have a down-to-earth conversation about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve.
