My communication style

I foster a therapeutic environment that is warm, collaborative, and respectful. I balance empathy and compassion with a direct, solution-focused approach, helping you feel both supported and challenged in meaningful ways. My style is transparent and nonjudgmental, encouraging open dialogue while honoring your pace and readiness for change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I transitioned into private practice to create a space where I could offer personalized, values-driven care. My work at the VA deepened my commitment to helping individuals navigate complex challenges, and I'm passionate about empowering clients to build resilience and create lasting change.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to identify what matters most and translate those values into clear, achievable goals. Together, we break larger challenges into manageable steps, creating a roadmap that feels both realistic and motivating. I regularly check in on progress, celebrate successes, and adjust strategies when needed.

Our first session

Your first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about your current concerns, your personal history, and your goals for treatment. This session is also a chance for you to get a feel for my style and ask any questions you might have about therapy.
