My communication style

I aim to provide a calm and relaxing environment through active listening and empathetic partnership. By building rapport, I ensure that you feel heard, valued, and respected to enable you to build coping skills to work through your challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had a passion for helping people. A past therapist remarked that I was a great listener and would be a great therapist. I shifted careers and am dedicated to the work that I do to help people empower themselves and develop resilience to life challenges.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is an active partnership. Together, we set goals, and I'll be asking you what you want to accomplish in our sessions. I primarily focus on one or two goals at a time, and when accomplished, we'll add other goals if needed.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you into therapy. It's perfectly normal to feel nervous, and I'll be there to guide you along each step. Expect a non-judgmental, safe environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your life concerns.
