My communication style

I strive to create a safe space where you can bring in whatever is on your heart and mind. It's about making the uncomfortable conversations as comfortable as possible. My style is directive so expect me to gently point out themes and patterns. There will be times when I will offer to incorporate exercises in session as well.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started seeing a therapist and it really changed my life. I felt validated, seen, and understood fully for the first time. Therapy was a space where I could be my full self without needing to filter myself or worry about how I would be perceived. My hope is that I can provide that safe space for every person I meet.

My goals for you

My approach is a collaborative one, meaning I want us to work together to tailor what you're hoping to gain from our time together. I want to hear what your personal goals are, listen to your story, provide you with my insight, and then set some goals.

Our first session

You might feel nervous about starting that first session, but do not fret! For the first few minutes, I will introduce myself, review confidentiality, and my style. Then, I'll want to know your story and what brings you to therapy. You get to choose how much or how little to share. The main purpose is for us both to see if we are a good fit.
