My communication style

I'm an active listener who offers unconditional positive regard, where you feel fully accepted and understood. I value honesty and authenticity in our communication. I create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism.

My journey to mental healthcare

I moved to the USA with a dream of building a new life. A counselor became a guiding light for me, inspiring me to become a therapist. Therapy transformed my own life, helping me find greater meaning and clarity. Now I'm passionate about supporting others in discovering their true selves.

My goals for you

Goal setting typically takes 1-2 sessions. Together, we'll identify the most important areas for you to focus on. I recommend concentrating on just 1-2 goals at a time. Once you've achieved those, we can select new goals as needed.

Our first session

I'll gather information to better understand you, your expectations, and your goals for therapy. This conversation helps us get to know each other well, as I believe successful therapy is built on a strong, trusting relationship.
