My communication style

My communication style is warm, authentic, and collaborative. I use humor when it feels right, because I believe laughter can make difficult work feel a little lighter. You can expect me to listen closely and reflect on what I hear, while also gently challenging you when it's needed to help you grow.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path into mental health was shaped by both professional experience and personal healing. I began working with survivors of domestic violence, then supported individuals with severe mental illness in residential care, provided hospice grief therapy, and most recently offered individual and family therapy at an IOP.

My goals for you

I believe therapy works best when our goals are clear, meaningful, and connected to what matters most to you. Early on, we'll identify your initial goals together—whether that's improving relationships, managing emotions, or breaking unhelpful patterns. Each month, we'll reflect on your progress and reassess.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know each other and creating a safe space where you can share what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about your background, your current concerns, and the goals you'd like to work toward. I'll also answer any questions you may have about therapy so you feel comfortable with the process.
