My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want you to feel comfortable talking with me about anything. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I realized many people struggle and just need someone to talk to. I love hearing people's stories and how they overcome struggles to function daily. I never had someone listen to me as a child, and I want to be that person for someone when they need it most.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is about working together to define what you want to accomplish. This starts by building trust and getting comfortable with therapy. Over time, we'll set goals and track your progress together.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently. I'll ask questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about building an initial connection and helping me understand where we should go from there.
