My communication style

I strive to create a safe and natural environment for you to be your true self. My style is authentic, warm, and empathic while maintaining a goal-oriented mindset. I believe a healthy mix of deep emotional exploration and light-hearted humor creates the most productive therapeutic relationships.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a strong desire to understand people and be someone they can turn to for support through life's ups and downs. I found myself wishing I knew how to help adolescents and young adults through their darkest times, which led me to pursue this work. I find it rewarding to be a safe place and balanced voice for everyone I meet with.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is to learn what has brought you to seek therapy and understand your desired results. We can collaboratively set goals for our time together, create a plan for how we will reach these goals, and continue to revisit them periodically throughout our sessions.

Our first session

During our first session, my main goal is to gain an understanding of what you are experiencing and what has led you to seek therapy at this time. We will also review confidentiality and get to know one another to foster a positive therapeutic rapport.
