My communication style

Being an active listener is at the core of my approach, and I truly embrace a Rogerian style of relating to clients. I value honesty and congruence in our communication. This means I’ll always be authentic with you and encourage the same in return. I’m here to create a safe and non-judgmental space.

My journey to mental healthcare

In 2009, I moved to the USA with a dream of building a new life. I started my journey by taking English classes, eager to learn and grow in a new environment. Along the way, I was fortunate to meet a counselor who became a guiding light for me. Her unwavering support and belief in my potential inspired me deeply.

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.

I identify as...
