My communication style

I like for therapy to be easy, comfortable, and safe. Humor, gratitude, and honesty create the vibe in sessions. I've been told I'm easy to talk to and a good listener. It feels like an informal dialogue where thoughts and feelings are therapeutically discussed.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist while learning about myself and healing my inner wounded child. I know what it's like to be depressed, anxious, and suicidal. I went through the storm and came out ready to share my personal and professional insights on how you can be resilient and get through anything that comes your way.

My goals for you

I like for you to guide me on what is important for you to work on. The collaborative process between client and therapist is the fun part of therapy. I value what you say, because after all you are the expert on yourself.

Our first session

First, expect to get the formal things out of the way—all the legal stuff and an understanding of expectations from both sides. Second, I'd like to open a genuine dialogue to start developing therapeutic rapport and trust. We can talk about what's on your mind, no pressure. We take it at your pace.
