My communication style

My communication style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy works best when you feel truly heard and understood. I aim to create a space where you can speak freely without fear of judgment, and where your experiences are met with empathy and respect.

My journey to mental healthcare

Even as a teenager, I was curious about what helps people keep going through hard times. I wanted to understand what makes us strong, what connects us, and how our emotions influence the way we live. That curiosity, and a deep respect for people's ability to grow and heal, inspired me to become a therapist.

My goals for you

I use a collaborative approach to identify what you would like to achieve in therapy. We will work together to create meaningful goals, whether it is improving your relationships, reducing distress, or changing behavior that does not serve you. I utilize goals to help guide our sessions together, including adapting goals as your needs change.

Our first session

The first session is about building a connection and helping you feel at ease. We'll talk about what led you to therapy, any current concerns, and what you hope to get out of our time together. You don't have to have everything figured out. We'll take it one step at a time and work together to find what feels most helpful for you.
