My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. I offer thoughtful feedback and use subtle, respectful confrontation when needed to encourage growth. Our conversations are solution-focused, helping clients gain clarity, build insight, and move confidently t

My journey to mental healthcare

I earned my bachelor’s in Psychology and later my master’s and specialist degrees in School Counseling. While I valued the role, I wanted less administrative work and more direct impact. Transitioning to mental health therapy allows me to focus on emotional healing and strengthening clients’ daily life functioning skills.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals using CBT to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Together, we build motivation, strengthen confidence, and reduce self-doubt. I support clients in shifting limiting perspectives and developing healthier patterns that remove barriers and promote lasting growth and success.

Our first session

The first session focuses on building rapport and understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll review confidentiality, mandated reporting, and complete standard risk questions. Together, we’ll identify goals and discuss expectations for the therapeutic process to ensure a safe, supportive, and collaborative start.
