My communication style

Communication happens through words, silence, movement, and the body itself. Sometimes our bodies express what words cannot. I create space for both verbal and nonverbal expression. Sessions are grounded in open, honest dialogue and attuned to the deeper emotional and somatic undercurrents that shape your experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've worked in communities with limited access to mental health services and in populations where therapy is stigmatized. I've witnessed individuals overcome life's most difficult challenges using tools gained in therapy. We all deserve to be heard and seen for who we truly are.

My goals for you

Developing goals is a collaborative process. Together, we evaluate areas of concern, recognize what's going well, and assess your readiness for change. Progress involves practicing insights gained in session and taking meaningful steps toward your goals. Therapy is about reflection, action, growth, and transformation.

Our first session

The first few sessions focus on building connection and understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll explore your background, support system, and personal strengths to gain insight into factors contributing to your current challenges. It's completely normal to feel nervous—you're not alone.
