My communication style

I am a very friendly person, open to new experiences and people. I take my work very seriously in that I strive to never make a person feel judged, and I hope that working with me feels like you're being supported and encouraged to do the work yourself, rather than feeling like all of the work is being done for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to be a therapist. I went through depression myself, which led me to take a break and work jobs I hated. I decided to use my degree and worked in a drug rehab center, loving the experience so much that it inspired me to continue my education. Now I'm looking to spread my skillset to reach as many people as possible.

My goals for you

I like to set short, realistic goals early on to help you feel like you have a path forward. In my experience, there's nothing worse than feeling stuck and alone.

Our first session

First sessions are usually surface-level interactions to get to know one another and help me understand what brings you to therapy. I try not to dig too deep so that your experience leaving the session can be light and educational.
