My communication style

My style is warm, intuitive, direct, and collaborative. I’m comfortable with complexity, and you don’t need to have everything organized or know exactly where to begin. Part of my job is helping us find the thread together—making connections between your experiences, relationships, emotions, nervous system, and the ways you’ve learned to cope.

My journey to mental healthcare

People have always seemed to feel comfortable opening up to me—even when I was young, I often heard, “I can’t believe I’m telling you all of this.” I’ve always been genuinely interested in people and their stories and able to listen without judgment, which made becoming a therapist feel like a natural path.

My goals for you

I see treatment goals as something we develop together. We’ll start by getting clear about what brought you to therapy, what feels most important right now, and what you’d like to feel or experience differently in your life. From there, we’ll identify meaningful and realistic goals and check in on them as our work evolves.

Our first session

Our first session is really about getting to know you—what brings you in, what’s happening in your life, and what you hope might be different. My goal is for it to feel more like a genuine conversation than an interview. There’s no pressure to tell me everything at once or have it all figured out.
