My communication style

I try to create a calm, honest, and respectful space. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m supportive without being passive. I will listen closely, ask direct questions, and help you make sense of patterns without judgment or pressure.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I’ve seen how much people can carry quietly, especially trauma, relationship pain, and the pressure to keep functioning. What drives me is helping clients feel less alone, understand themselves more clearly, and make changes that feel possible.

My goals for you

I approach goals by first understanding what feels hardest right now and what you want life or your relationship to look like instead. Together, we turn that into clear, realistic goals and revisit them as therapy progresses so our work stays useful.

Our first session

In the first session, we’ll talk about what brought you in, what has been difficult lately, and what you hope therapy will help change. I’ll ask about symptoms, relationships, background, and goals, but you do not have to share everything all at once.
