My communication style

My communication style is non-directive, offering a space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I use acceptance, unconditional positive regard, cultural humility, and empathy to create a therapeutic space where you feel heard, seen, and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

After years as a social worker responding to crises, I found myself frustrated with the reactive nature of the work. This led me to pursue therapy, where I can take a proactive role in helping individuals navigate life's challenges before they escalate.

My goals for you

My approach is deeply client-centered and collaborative. I work with you to identify your unique goals and challenges, ensuring the therapy process feels meaningful and relevant to your life. We'll create goals that align with your recovery process and overall well-being.

Our first session

You can expect to be actively listened to and feel a sense of acceptance and understanding. This session will be guided by your story and perspective. I'll ask open-ended questions to help you explore your thoughts and feelings. The main focus will be on building trust and establishing a safe space for you to share openly.
