My communication style

My communication style is warm, open, and grounded. Everything is welcome in this space, with no judgment. I like to listen and ask questions to be sure I understand where you're coming from. I also think humor is a great therapeutic tool, so I bring that in when it's right.

My journey to mental healthcare

I feel fortunate to have a career where I get to help people move toward greater self-knowledge, compassion, and acceptance. I truly believe that therapy is not only a gift to ourselves, but to those around our communities at large, and this is why I do what I do.

My goals for you

Establishing the right goals makes sure we both know what we're working on and how we'd like to get there. Often a starting place is me asking: How do you feel right now, and how would you like to feel differently? With teens, I believe they should be in the driver's seat in terms of what we're working toward.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll gather information about your history, your goals, and what's bringing you to therapy. You don't need to share everything right away. Subsequent sessions will be driven by what you want to talk about—what's been going on, how you've been feeling, what you've noticed since our last session.
