My communication style

I use clear communication that is comforting and compassionate, making sure that you feel safe and supported. You determine the pace of our sessions while I ensure that you are making the progress you're aiming for.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, I faced my own struggles with mental health that exposed me to the world of clinical psychology. With my lifelong passion for helping others, I realized I enjoy providing emotional support to people who may feel alone and disempowered. I care about having an understanding of our social issues and how they influence a person's health.

My goals for you

In the initial stages of therapy, we collaborate on creating goals that are realistic and measurable in order to track your progress. Once we know the goals, I use a wide range of therapy tools, including CBT, DBT, ACT, and IPT, so we can dive right into the work.

Our first session

I start with an introductory session where I focus on understanding your story in a comforting and nonjudgmental space. We'll also discuss what you want to accomplish in therapy so that we have a clear picture of the progress you envision.
