My communication style

My communication style is warm and validating. I am open and direct, offering honest feedback while always tailoring my approach to fit each client's needs and preferences. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging atmosphere, often bringing energy and humor to our sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in becoming a therapist began early, inspired by seeing the profound impact therapy had on a friend. I was most excited about how quickly the right interventions could help people overcome anxiety, yet I saw how challenging these treatments could be. This inspired me to develop a gentler, more personalized approach.

My goals for you

I see goal setting as a true partnership, working with clients to discover what they want to accomplish. While we focus on actively reducing the fear, stress, worry, and panic that come with anxiety, we also pay close attention to how anxiety may be getting in the way of the things that matter most.

Our first session

During the first session, clients share their recent experiences with anxiety, and we discuss what they hope to accomplish. After learning about each person's unique needs, I recommend a personalized treatment plan, including options and an estimated timeline. Together, we set meaningful goals and outline a clear path forward.
