My communication style

Being in therapy with me feels like a relationship with a trusted advisor. I create a warm relationship by being authentic and building trust, so you can be authentic too. I let you lead sessions so you get the most out of them. Therapy is for you; I'm just your guide.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I found myself creating stories about people around me and what their lives might be like. This empathy led me to social work and mental health counseling. I'm a therapist for all the moments when clients have breakthroughs, feel seen as their real selves, and even in difficult times when they struggle.

My goals for you

You are the leader in goal setting. You tell me what you want to work on, and we make those goals specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based, with detailed tasks about how you'll complete them. Goals can be changed at any time based on your needs.

Our first session

During our first session, I'll complete an intake by asking questions to understand who you are, your background, presenting concerns, goals, and strategies you may already have in mind. This is also the start of our therapeutic relationship, so I'll check in at the end to ensure you feel comfortable moving forward with me.
