My communication style

My communication style is gentle and supportive. I am an excellent listener. I strive for you to feel heard. And I provide gentle feedback, as needed. While working with me, you will find a safe, supportive space to share.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am human. I have experienced events in life that have brought about big emotions and difficult thoughts. During those times, I have found counseling and support groups to be beneficial. And I have wanted to make meaning out of my experiences by using them to help others.

My goals for you

When it comes to setting goals in therapy, you are in the driver's seat. You know yourself best and what you are hoping to get out of therapy. I will help break down your goals into steps and keep therapy moving toward reaching them.

Our first session

The first session will be focused on getting to know you, your history, what brings you into therapy, and what you hope to get out of it. I want you to also get a feel for whether we'd be a good match to work together. You're taking this step to be vulnerable and seek out help, so it is essential that you feel comfortable and supported.
