My communication style

My communication style is warm, collaborative and straightforward. I believe in open dialogue and meeting you where you are.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey has been rooted in a passion for helping others and mental health advocacy. I began in community mental health, supporting individuals and families through crisis interventions, rehabilitation, and case management. I pursued advanced training in trauma-informed care, CBT, DBT, and collaborative treatment planning.

My goals for you

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and feel empowered to make lasting changes. I combine evidence-based practices with a client-centered approach to create a supportive environment where individuals can explore, grow, and heal.

Our first session

In our first session, my priority is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel comfortable sharing your story. We'll spend time discussing what brought you to therapy, your goals and challenges you're currently facing. I'll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your needs and collaborate with you to outline a personalized plan.
