My communication style

I believe healing can include both depth and moments of lightness. While we will thoughtfully explore difficult experiences, my communication style remains warm, respectful, and curious. I value understanding your life journey and the experiences that have shaped you as we work toward meaningful and lasting change.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist has been deeply shaped by my own experiences seeking support during times of change, identity exploration, and relationship transitions. I've learned how powerful it can be to sit with someone who really listens—someone who helps you make sense of where you've been and where you want to go.

My goals for you

Goal setting is collaborative and informed by your history, strengths, and current challenges. We integrate mindfulness, psychoeducation, practical tools, role plays, and structured daily practices to support attention, emotional regulation, and sustainable changes that help optimize focus and functioning.

Our first session

Our first session focuses on understanding the full picture of your well-being—your challenges, strengths, values, and goals. I use a biopsychosocial framework and measurement-based care to guide assessment and treatment planning, supporting thoughtful, coordinated, and comprehensive care in a respectful, grounded space.
