My communication style

My approach is laid-back, so you don't feel pressured or uncomfortable during our sessions. I take your concerns seriously while removing the power differential that can sometimes exist between client and therapist. I want you to feel safe as we build a therapeutic relationship. I try to ask for consent before giving blunt feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I had some lackluster experiences growing up. I wanted to help make therapy less daunting and more accessible, especially to vulnerable communities. My career motivation is hearing positive client outcomes and the fact that the psychology field is always changing.

My goals for you

Goal setting should be collaborative. While you may not have a specific one when you first come to session, we can work together to find one that fits your needs. I like to follow the SMART model and check in about progress regularly, revising and creating new goals when needed.

Our first session

A first session with me is like a general intake. I'll ask questions about your background, like family, medical and mental health, education, and more. We'll also discuss goals and leave the floor open for you to ask any questions or voice any concerns you may have. The second session is really when we dive in.
