My communication style

I'm casual and personable while maintaining professionalism and valuing your time and investment in therapy. I strive for conversations to feel comfortable so you can speak in your own style, feeling safe and accepted.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been empathic. Despite starting in horticulture, I found myself drawn to psychology and pursued graduate work after experiencing therapy's value firsthand. Connection drives this work—our parallel journeys as humans allow us to relate and support one another in creating meaningful paths forward.

My goals for you

Clients drive the direction. They are key in identifying goals, big or small. Every goal can be broken down into smaller steps if needed. I believe everyone should be empowered to decide what those steps look like, and they can always be re-evaluated based on successes and challenges.

Our first session

I'll ensure you understand confidentiality and all information needed to make an informed choice about therapy. I'll share my background and ask what you seek from therapy, welcoming your questions. Beyond that, my primary goal is getting to know you and building safety and comfort, which is crucial for our therapeutic work.
