My communication style

I believe healing starts with trust, and open communication. My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and valued. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences while walking with you as an empathetic partner. When things feel challenging, you can count on me.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, mental health was rarely discussed and was often stigmatized. Through my undergraduate and master’s-level work, I came to realize that helping change the stigma within certain cultures required me to first examine my own outlook. I had to do deeper personal work to understand why some cultures shy away from conversations about therapy.

My goals for you

My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel safe to express themselves, gain insight, and take steps toward personal growth, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of agency.

Our first session

Our first session is really just a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. It’s totally normal to feel nervous, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before we begin. We’ll take things one step at a time, at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and I’ll be here to support and guide.
