My communication style

My approach is both curious and compassionate—I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients and helping them better understand themselves. At the same time, many clients have described me as direct and solution-oriented, which can help create relief and momentum early in the process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've known since I was in middle school that I wanted to be a psychologist. I read my brother's college psych 101 book, and it just clicked. The concepts introduced in the book just made sense to me in terms of how I understand people and how I think.

My goals for you

I believe therapy works best in a flexible, nonjudgmental, and supportive space where you can safely explore your experiences and view them from new perspectives. Together, we’ll find a balance between understanding yourself more deeply and challenging yourself to grow.

Our first session

Because of my work doing brief counseling, I tend to be proactive, and hopefully you will feel some immediate benefit from the first session while we get to know each other better in future sessions and address what may be deeper and more complex things to work on.
