My communication style

Communication really is key! I encourage feedback throughout our time together and am always happy to clarify when needed. I use direct communication, and my goal is to ensure understanding. I am calm and thoughtful in my responses and patient in discussions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always knew I wanted to help people. I considered options like nursing and teaching before finding my true calling in therapy. I found fulfillment in working with youths, families, and adults. I love being a therapist and feel grateful to support my clients and empower them to support themselves.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a team effort. You and I bring unique strengths that are essential in working toward your goals. Whether it's setting boundaries, processing past trauma, or learning how to manage stress, we'll find the best strategies that work for you.

Our first session

In the first few sessions, we get to know each other. I explain how therapy works, we review any questions you have, and we discuss what brought you to therapy. I am not going to force you to talk about something you are not ready for. I encourage you to set boundaries so we progress at your pace.

I identify as...
