My communication style

My communication style is collaborative, warm, but also gently challenging when appropriate. I want my clients to feel at home when talking to me and feel empowered to become their best selves, whatever that looks like to each person.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because of a deep belief that no one should suffer in silence when it comes to mental health. Many have told me I can create a safe space for them. It's rewarding to watch clients build the confidence to speak up for their needs, navigate challenging situations, and make choices aligned with their values.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting involves establishing trust and asking what you want to achieve in therapy. Some people desire more self-compassion or meaningful growth, while others want to learn techniques for getting through the day. Over time, we will work together to track progress, but most importantly, I will go at your pace.

Our first session

In our first few sessions, we will work together to establish a connection and explore your concerns in depth. Most importantly, I will ask questions rather than assume what works best for you. Disclaimer: I do NOT treat PTSD, ADD/ADHD, complex trauma, or OCD. I do not do letters of any kind.
