My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and approachable, issuing challenges gently and from a place of respect for my clients and belief in their ability to succeed in therapy. I pride myself on my ability to craft outstanding rapport with my clients and offer them a therapeutic space that is free of judgment, blame, and shame.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began when I was earning my first degree in Philosophy, and I began to question the world around me at a deep and honest level. That process changed my worldview and my view of myself, which helped me shape a better life. I began by working as a peer tutor in college, and my toolkit has only grown since then.

My goals for you

I approach goal-setting by responding to a client’s level of readiness and understanding of the issues they bring to therapy. Some clients bring a great deal of insight to the relationship and are ready to set goals within a session or two, while others are unsure and need time, guidance, and encouragement in setting goals.

Our first session

What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about the issues you feel bring you to therapy, and me to ask questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there.
