My communication style

I create a value-neutral environment where you feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues. I approach therapy as a collaborative journey, understanding that you know yourself better than I ever could. We work together to explore and improve the behaviors and patterns that bring you to therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started out wanting to be a broadcast journalist to give people a voice and help them be heard. After working in news, I sought a more meaningful way to help others tell their story. Every client I've worked with has left an indelible mark on me. I consider being a therapist both a great privilege and an important responsibility.

My goals for you

Goal setting is always collaborative. We'll discuss and set manageable, attainable targets together. As therapy continues and new insights arise, your original goals may shift. I'm open to adjusting goals at any point and often find a new perspective to be a sign of growth.

Our first session

During our first session, I'll ask background questions and focus on your family of origin history. This may initially feel unnecessary, but your family background provides valuable information that helps me understand how and why your presenting problem affects you. It actually speeds up the process by providing important insight into who you are.
