My communication style

I'm a calm, curious, and caring listener who actively seeks to understand what you're experiencing, what you care about, and what you want in your life. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, directed by your needs and goals, with openness to self-exploration and patience in letting thoughts and feelings emerge.

My journey to mental healthcare

My career in mental health has been motivated by deep satisfaction in the privilege of getting to know people deeply and assisting them to solve problems and achieve fulfillment in their life journeys.

My goals for you

I think it's important to begin therapy with a discussion about what brings you here and help you formulate therapy goals. Goals may not be clear at the outset, but having mutual understanding and exploring their meaning in your life, what may be thwarting them, and how to resolve this is an important part of our work.

Our first session

You'll have the opportunity to explain the circumstances that prompted seeking therapy, as well as your larger life context. You can also ask me about my background and practices, how I approach therapy, and logistical questions about sessions. You should expect to be listened to carefully and welcomed to fully express your concerns.
