My communication style

My communication style is warm, calm, and grounded in genuine curiosity. I believe that healing begins in relationships where we feel safe, seen, and accepted just as we are.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist has been both personal and deeply meaningful. I began my career in healthcare, where I spent fifteen years supporting individuals through physical and cognitive health challenges. While I valued that work, I felt a strong pull toward the emotional and psychological side of healing.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative and flexible approach to goal-setting because I believe therapy works best when it’s built around you. In our first sessions, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and talk about what matters most to you—what you’d like to work on, what’s getting in the way, and what you hope will feel different over time.

Our first session

Our first session is really just a conversation—a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s been going on in your life, what brought you to therapy, and what you’re hoping to get out of our time together.
