My communication style

My communication style is calm, authentic, and soul-acknowledging. I focus on establishing a safe and healthy connection that fosters honesty in our relationship. I believe each person is trying their best to navigate this life, and I'm here to witness that journey with you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist out of a building curiosity to understand the soul's depths and desires. I found that while learning the profession, I was also being asked to face my demons and depths. This process completely changed my life, and I am now living in my power and intuition. I am driven to ethically support my clients.

My goals for you

You can expect me to meet my clients right where they are. Building a genuine connection is a priority in setting and accomplishing any goal. As trust is established, we will work together to name that which the client wants to focus on. I will check in with them as appropriate to make sure they are still going in the direction they want.

Our first session

During the first session, I focus on establishing an authentic connection with you. I listen and ask questions to better understand what you're seeking. Consent is very important to me, and I ensure you have the information you need to make the best decision for yourself.
