My communication style

I'm pretty chill—come as you are, speak as you do. Clients say it feels like talking to a friend who listens when needed but also tells it like it is when it's time to make changes. I create a nonjudgmental space because you won't open up if you don't feel safe.

My journey to mental healthcare

Therapy has been my calling for a long time. What drew me to this work was needing someone like myself when I was younger but not knowing what resources existed. Knowing I can impact someone's life and shift their trajectory is an honor. I genuinely love this work.

My goals for you

Goal setting is crucial to your treatment, so I always obtain your goals directly from you. I may help make them achievable, but the goals are all yours.

Our first session

The first session is where we get to know each other. I'll share important information about myself and gather details about what brings you to therapy. We'll set up our ongoing schedule. If you don't feel we're a good match, please don't feel obligated to continue—it's important you feel a connection.
