My communication style

Being an active listener is my superpower, but that doesn't mean I won't challenge those negative beliefs and long-held narratives. I like to keep it real while helping you explore deeper. I'll always hold a calm, non-judgmental, and safe space. Intentional language is important to me, so please let me know if something doesn't resonate.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapeutic experience was so transformative that I decided to become a therapist. I realized most of us don't have a safe space with a trusted person to process our thoughts and feelings. I believe we all have the answers inside us. There are times when we need help quieting negative talk and letting go of old narratives.

My goals for you

Goal setting usually takes one to two sessions. We'll collaborate on what's most important for you to focus on so we can make the most of our time together. I suggest focusing on only one or two goals at a time. Once you've met your goals, we can choose others when appropriate.

Our first session

Since you've probably been holding onto a few things before you found me, I'll be doing a lot more listening than talking. After we make our introductions, get to know each other, and set some ground rules, I want to know what you expect to get out of our time together and the goals you want to focus on.
