My communication style

I prioritize creating a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. I believe in fostering a collaborative relationship, where we explore challenges and identify solutions together. My goal is to build a sense of connection that respects your individual process and our shared human experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been incredibly drawn to relationship dynamics, what influences our decisions, and how our upbringings so heavily impact our ideas about ourselves. I became a therapist because I noticed a significant gap in mental health awareness and acceptance in my community.

My goals for you

You may already have a clear sense of why you're seeking services, or perhaps you just know that you need someone to talk to—that's a valid starting point too. Wherever you are in your journey, we'll work together to set realistic goals for our time, and know that these goals can evolve as you do.

Our first session

Our first session is a time for me to gain a better understanding of why you are here and how I can be of service to you. I'll do this by guiding us through the completion of your intake, which can take our full session. It's also a good time for you to get a sense of my communication style and see how that feels for you.
