My communication style

I'm all about clear, open communication and creating a space where you feel supported, respected, and never judged. I listen closely and reflect on what's coming up with you, like a partner in the process. When things get tough, I stay calm, grounded, and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path into mental health began with a deep curiosity about human behavior and a strong desire to understand what helps people live more fulfilling lives. I found myself especially connected to those struggling with addiction. There's something powerful about helping someone reconnect with their strength and worth.

My goals for you

I think of therapy as a team effort. We'll figure out what matters most to you—whether that's improving relationships, boosting self-esteem, or working through something else. Your goals might shift as you grow, and that's totally normal. We'll keep checking in and adjusting so our work always feels relevant and helpful.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a relaxed, judgment-free space where we'll get to know each other. I'll ask some questions to better understand what's bringing you in and what you're hoping to get out of therapy—but there's no pressure to share everything right away. You set the pace. You don't need to prepare anything—just show up as you are.
