My communication style

I create a calm, non-judgmental, safe space for anyone I work with. I'm an active listener who genuinely enjoys hearing your story and helping you grow and realize your best self. I challenge negative beliefs while helping you explore and process your stuff. I'm always open to what works best as we remain fluid.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was first introduced to therapy as a young adult dealing with depression and relationship issues. It was a transformative experience that changed how I navigated life and relationships. I remembered what I appreciated most: the therapeutic relationship. Change happened most when I trusted my therapist and felt heard.

My goals for you

I like to start goal setting within the first or second session. I collaborate with you to find out what is most important to focus on so we make the most of our sessions. I feel one to two goals to begin is best, and we continue working on those until they've been met. I remain fluid, understanding that goals may change.

Our first session

In the first session, I would be doing more listening than talking. I would like to get to know you and hear your story. After we introduce ourselves, we can talk about ground rules, what you expect to get out of our time together, and the goals you want to focus on.
