My communication style

During your first session, my focus is on getting to know you—or your child—in a calm, supportive, and judgment-free environment. We’ll talk about what brought you in, your goals for care, and any symptoms or challenges you’ve been experiencing. For younger patients, I take time to build trust and comfort through age-appropriate conversations.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider was shaped by a deep desire to support individuals and families through some of life’s most vulnerable moments. I began my career in nursing, where I gained firsthand experience caring for patients. As I continued my education and clinical practice, I felt drawn to psychiatric care.

My goals for you

My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful—with a clear sense of our next steps and how we’ll work together toward healing and balance.

Our first session

A first session with me is focused on helping you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. We will start by getting to know each other and talking about what brought you in, your concerns, and what you are hoping to get out of care. There is no pressure to share everything at once—this is a space where you can move at your own pace.
