My communication style

My clients describe me as a non-judgmental listener with a calming presence. Teens and young adults find me warm-hearted, and adults appreciate how I relate to balancing many roles. When needed, I provide constructive feedback or alternative ways of thinking. I bring my authentic self to sessions and welcome your questions and feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist did not happen in a straight line, which provided me with a unique perspective. I have worked with youth, survivors of domestic abuse, low-income families, adults with disabilities, and immigrants and refugees. I am involved with advocacy work to promote social justice and systemic change.

My goals for you

My approach to goal-setting begins with the understanding that we all need support to become our best selves. I offer space for you to share your story and hopes for the future, which serves as the foundation for a collaborative goal-setting process. I see goals as something that can be adjusted as needed to align with your needs.

Our first session

The first session lays the groundwork for building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I will seek to understand what brought you to therapy, the areas you would like to work on, and how we can collaborate to reach your goals. You will have an opportunity to ask questions about my approach.
