My communication style

I find that people thrive on open communication that is genuine and truthful. Most of my clients feel relieved when they don't have to put on a mask and can simply be themselves. It's important to feel you can openly talk about the issues you tend to hide in an environment free of judgment or shame.

My journey to mental healthcare

After traveling the world and hearing diverse stories, I longed to learn more about the human condition. Through stories of joy and pain, I gained insight into the resilience and shared experiences that connect us. I've continued developing this insight through research, emergency medicine, and hospice care.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a partnership where your goals guide our work. We'll start by identifying what matters most—whether coping with loss, managing anxiety, or navigating transition. My focus is helping you develop practical strategies and insights that empower you to move forward with confidence.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to explore what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. It's natural to feel uncertain or nervous, and I'm here to guide you at a comfortable pace. Together, we'll begin building a foundation for growth.
