My communication style

Building a supportive and comfortable environment is vital to success in therapy, so I try to build an empathic and nurturing relationship. It's important that clients feel supported throughout therapy, even when I have to challenge and lean into discomfort. I communicate directly and with encouragement and care.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was not linear, but one thing remained consistent: I love the humbling experience of witnessing life's triumphs and challenges through my client's eyes. I am constantly motivated by the vulnerable courage individuals have when they seek out therapy.

My goals for you

I like to have a collaborative approach to setting goals. I want to know what the client wants to focus on in therapy, as well as suggest possible supportive goals that align with the client's growth.

Our first session

During the first session, I give clients a general layout of what to expect in therapy to encourage transparency and build rapport. I want to learn why a client is seeking services and what they hope to get out of the experience, to ensure we are a good fit. Showing up can be intimidating, but the session shouldn't be!
