My communication style

During sessions, I speak simply and listen deeply. I don't rush moments between words and allow you to move at your own pace. I trust the therapeutic process of the relationship, and at the same time, will offer guidance so that sessions will feel like they have a sense of linearity and progression.

My journey to mental healthcare

Frankly, therapy is a calling for me, and I view it dutifully. I'm also drawn to therapy out of sheer wonder. Dialogue between two people can change everything. Somewhere between exchanged words, a spark appears, and both walk away seeing the world with a little more clarity. That kind of transformative phenomenon keeps me inspired every day.

My goals for you

What I typically find is small steps compound into the formation of steps of a more profound path to walk down. Progress doesn't have to be loud (although it certainly can be) and is many times quiet but steady.

Our first session

We get to know your story together, what gives meaning to your life, and your values. There will be no pressure to know these things off the bat. It's less about answers and more about beginning and drawing a roadmap.
