My communication style

I aim to be warm and caring while staying clear and honest. My work is centered on what you want from therapy, offering support alongside direct feedback when helpful. I welcome client feedback if you feel misunderstood, as open and honest communication is key to a healthy therapeutic relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

I came to this work through my own challenging life experiences and time in therapy. I saw how powerful it can be to feel supported by someone with both clinical knowledge and genuine compassion. That experience continues to guide how I show up for my clients

My goals for you

It is important that clients leave therapy a better version of themselves. After getting to know your start, I will help you learn the importance of setting goals and working towards values that you identify. Once those goals are set, we will build skills that will help you get closer to those goals.

Our first session

In our first session, you’re invited to come just as you are—no pressure or judgment. I’ll ask a few general questions about your life and current circumstances, then give you space to share whatever parts of your story feel important to why you’re seeking therapy.
