My communication style

Clients often tell me they feel safe, seen, and understood in our sessions. I bring warmth, a sense of humor, and a deeply nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, messy, anxious, unsure, and still be met with compassion and clarity.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for therapy began when I saw firsthand how transformative it can be. I volunteered with adolescents in juvenile detention centers and domestic violence shelters providing mindfulness based rehabilitation services. I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds to support their mental health journey.

My goals for you

I help my clients reach their goals by balancing exploration with actionable strategies to support meaningful growth and healing.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask some questions about what brought you to therapy, your history, and what you’d like to work on. Think of it as a conversation where we explore whether we’re a good fit and begin shaping your goals together.
