My communication style

I consider myself a very caring and nurturing type of personality. My main focus is always the comfort of my clients and wanting them to feel heard and acknowledged. I like us to work together as a team, and I am a perpetual optimist who believes that all challenges offer us a chance to grow as people and can always be overcome.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into becoming a therapist started young when I suffered from extreme anxiety as a child. This challenge set me on a path of learning to overcome it through personal growth. As I began to overcome my challenges, the gratitude I had for the therapists who helped me turned into a calling to give back to others.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting depends on where each client is at the moment. Sometimes, goal setting is necessary in small and incremental baby steps, while other times, clients are ready to tackle their challenges head-on and desire numerous tasks and big steps from the get-go.

Our first session

A first session is always a chance for us to get to know each other, and help me have a better understanding of what your overall challenges, expectations, and goals are for therapy. My sessions are never rigid, and I like them to flow as naturally as possible, allowing you to be exactly where you are at in that moment without any set agenda.
