My communication style

In sessions with me, you can expect to feel truly heard and understood. I take a conversational approach, asking thoughtful questions to help spark insight and clarity. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself openly and honestly.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy after working with incarcerated students, where I witnessed how deeply trauma shaped their lives. It sparked a desire to understand not just the what of behavior, but the why behind it. What keeps me in this work is seeing clients make real progress, often achieving goals they once believed were out of reach.

My goals for you

I view goals as a shared roadmap we create together to guide your progress and ensure we're moving toward the life you want to build. I believe goals are written in pencil, not stone, which means we can revisit and revise them as your needs and circumstances evolve. This flexibility keeps us aligned with what truly matters to you.

Our first session

In our first session, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, explore important parts of your personal history, and clarify what you can expect from the therapeutic process. I hope you leave feeling a little lighter, knowing you're not alone.
