My communication style

I believe effective communication is essential to meaningful therapeutic work. I focus on creating a calm and supportive environment by practicing active listening, validation, and reflective listening. My priority is to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate your personal path toward wellness.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in supporting meaningful change. Through inpatient and community experience, I’ve worked with diverse clients facing complex mental health concerns, including suicide risk, psychosis, depression, personality disorders, PTSD, and trauma. This shapes my trauma-informed, compassionate approach.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative approach to goal setting, helping clients define meaningful, realistic goals and break them into manageable steps. We regularly review and adjust these goals to support continued growth and progress.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. This helps shape a personalized treatment plan. From there, we’ll work together to build on your strengths, develop tools, and support meaningful change in a safe, supportive space.
