My communication style

The communication style and tone that I aim to set for counseling is a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space. I want you to feel comfortable and heard, knowing this is a space where you can speak openly and honestly. I use a tone that is supportive.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been someone who enjoys seeing others succeed and is eager to help them with their challenges. I'm a curious person, and I want to understand why people behave the way that they do! I enjoy seeing people start at their lowest point and life and decide to make a change for the better and see their growth.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by making sure it’s a collaborative process between therapist and client. We start by discussing your values, needs, and what you would like to achieve. From there, we break goals down into smaller, manageable steps to ensure they feel achievable. The focus is on progress, not perfection! I want you to feel supported!

Our first session

In the first session, we'll discuss what led you to seek therapy, your goals, and assess if we would be a good match. We will also create a treatment plan and decide on the frequency of sessions.
