My communication style

I’m an active and non-judgmental listener with an ear to help clarify what I’m hearing and to ask questions to encourage the client to look deeper into themselves. My goal is to help build a strong and safe connection that encourages growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a college student exploring what my desired field of study would be and after choosing two other majors, I came across psychology as a sophomore. It was an amazing experience, like finding a diamond in the rough that fit perfectly with my feeling of wanting to help others. My desire to achieve that goal has never been altered to this day.

My goals for you

I encourage everyone to express their goals and needs. In the process of learning more about you, together we can ascertain what’s the best way to achieve your goals. There’s always room to change and adjust your goals as therapy unfolds.

Our first session

My first session with anyone is to hear what brought them into therapy and to know their personal history. It’s an important first step to get to know each other in order to build a relationship. It’s perfectly normal to feel some nervousness about sharing such personal information with a stranger. I will do my best to make you comfortable and safe
