My communication style

I find that a soft yet assertive approach is most effective in sessions. I want to meet my clients where they're at on any given day; some days might be more goal-oriented, whereas others might be more process-oriented. I have been told therapy doesn't always feel like therapy with me, which I'll take as a good thing!

My journey to mental healthcare

I sometimes joke that I've been a therapist since I was in the womb. In all seriousness, though, I love what I do, and there's not much else I can picture myself doing. Connecting with people on a deeper level, helping people feel less alone in their struggles, and reminding people of their agency is a practice I simply will never stop.

My goals for you

Goals are constantly changing. I find it most effective to establish a general theme of the work and further tailor goals to align with the theme (i.e., if someone's theme is struggling with low self-worth and people-pleasing behaviors, a goal might be to work on establishing boundaries with self and others).

Our first session

In the first meeting, I like to know what brings the client to therapy and what they hope to get out of sessions. From there, we can collaborate on a plan for tackling their goals (i.e., specific homework assignments and exposure work). I also like to get to know them and have them ask questions about me to help build rapport!
