My communication style

Clear affirming communication is important to create a supportive and safe environment. I practice active and reflective listening to help you reflect on your experiences as we work towards understanding and change. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient while building on your current strengths.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges and to build resilience. I experienced the power of therapy in healing from working with trauma survivors. I truly believe that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change. It is an honor for me to hold space as you do the work.

My goals for you

I team up with my clients and together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, pursuing personal growth or various other quests. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to remain meaningful as you move toward where you want to be. Social emotional wellness can be obtained and you can transform your life.

Our first session

Your first session is for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. We’ll move at your pace as therapy is a process we’ll build together over time. You'll be informed about what to expect and will be able to ask questions and have them answered. I will guide you throughout every step of the process with support and care.
