My communication style

My communication style is down-to-earth and often sprinkled with humor to help lighten tough moments. I'll challenge negative beliefs and long-held narratives while holding a calm, non-judgmental, safe space. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and offer gentle but direct feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

After facing a health crisis, I struggled with PTSD and anxiety. I was mystified at the power of the mind and how much it can affect physical health. Wonderful social workers helped me see my value and turn trauma into post-traumatic growth. I realized how many young people lacked a safe space to process thoughts and feelings.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. We'll collaborate on what's most important for you to focus on so we can make the most of our time together. Your goals may evolve as you gain new insights, and we can adapt our plan at any time. I aim to keep our work focused, flexible, and empowering.

Our first session

Our first session will focus on building trust and safety. This is a time for us to get to know each other. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy and any specific issues or goals you currently have. I'll ask guiding questions, but there's no pressure to share everything at once.
