My communication style

I emphasize empathetic communication to honor your emotions and create a safe, supportive space for healing. I utilize reflective listening, echoing your words to help you feel heard and understood. If there is ever a moment you feel unheard or misunderstood, you can count on me to be present, patient, and ready to listen and reconnect.

My journey to mental healthcare

From my first psychology class, I knew this was what I wanted to do. I enjoy learning various therapeutic approaches, fascinated by how trauma impacts the brain and how powerful therapy can be in rewiring the brain toward recovery. It is rewarding to witness my clients gain confidence and find peace.

My goals for you

Together we'll set meaningful goals, whether strengthening relationships, boosting self-esteem, navigating difficult thoughts, or processing loss. Goal-setting empowers you to take ownership of your healing journey. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership where I'll support, hold you accountable, and motivate your growth.

Our first session

I'll focus on getting to know you so we can begin building a foundation of trust. It is completely normal to feel nervous or uncertain about opening up to someone new. I may ask about your hobbies and interests as small steps to forming a therapeutic relationship. I'll gradually move at your pace, support, and guide you through each stage.
