My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm, patient, and understanding.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapeutic approach is rooted in building strong, collaborative relationships with my clients. I believe that by working together in an open and direct manner, we can identify and address the obstacles that hinder progress, while also discovering and nurturing your strengths and sense of purpose.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem decreasing anxiety or depressive symptom or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss how therapy works, briefly review your completed intake paperwork, and explore why you're seeking therapy. From there, we'll collaboratively develop your treatment goals.
