My communication style

I'm an active listener, non-judgmental, and present with a calm demeanor. If something is difficult to share or you're not ready, I may nudge a little but won't push and will respect your process. I provide education, normalize your experiences, and sometimes find humor in the absurd.

My journey to mental healthcare

My personal therapy journey began early because of challenges I faced as an adopted child. I found myself in the recovery community and began helping others with similar experiences. Something that once seemed impossible became a reality for me. I'm continually driven by the belief that everyone has the potential for change.

My goals for you

I believe therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set meaningful goals. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. I find it easier to start small and work up to more challenging goals. Sometimes we don't see the progress we've made, and that's where I can be helpful.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions to ensure I can provide the best care and make space for you to share whatever you're comfortable sharing. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment.
