My communication style

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients feel safe, supported, and understood. Clients often describe me as calm, approachable, validating, and direct in a compassionate way. I balance emotional support with practical tools and goal-focused conversations.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with a passion for helping people feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. Through school-based counseling, community mental health, higher education, and telehealth, I’ve supported clients through challenges, transitions, and personal growth.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively by helping clients identify meaningful, realistic goals aligned with their values. Together, we break goals into manageable steps, track progress, and adjust strategies as needed. Clients should expect to actively engage in practicing skills and working toward goals between sessions.

Our first session

Clients can expect a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment during our first session. We’ll discuss your current concerns, goals, personal history, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I’ll also help you begin identifying practical next steps and a treatment approach tailored to your needs.
