My communication style

My style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, creating a safe environment where you feel truly heard. I balance compassionate listening with clear guidance, emphasizing strengths while acknowledging challenges. I communicate with curious exploration, inviting you to recognize your inner wisdom.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was shaped by early experiences as the oldest of five children in a household affected by substance use and mental health challenges. These formative years turned me into an observer of human behavior and resilience, planting seeds for my future profession.

I help you identify and build upon existing strengths, teaching practical skills tailored to your challenges.

Our first session

In your first session, you'll experience a warm, judgment-free space where we'll begin building our therapeutic relationship. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain. I'll guide you through initial paperwork and explain how our sessions work, answering any questions you have.
