My communication style

My style is warm, collaborative, supportive, and practical. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself and actively involved in the process. We’ll work together to identify fears and negative thought patterns while also recognizing your strengths, successes, and capacity for change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I value the opportunity to help people understand themselves differently and recognize their capacity for growth. I believe changing the way we understand and respond to life's challenges can improve our mood, strengthen our relationships, and open us to new possibilities.

My goals for you

I believe meaningful change involves more than focusing on what is wrong. We all have internal strengths that can increase resilience, build confidence, and create hope. Together, we’ll identify what you want to be different, understand what may be getting in the way, and develop realistic steps toward your goals.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin identifying what you would like to accomplish in therapy. We’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, relevant personal history, symptoms, relationships and support system, and the ways you currently cope with stress.
