My communication style

Expect a positive, curious conversation. I lean heavily on analogies and metaphors to make hard concepts click, and I ask a lot of clarifying questions so I truly understand you. I'm supportive, but I'll gently call you out when you're not being honest with yourself. That's how real change happens.

My journey to mental healthcare

Since childhood, I was the friend group's sage advice-giver, driven by a need to understand my own mind and help others. I learned that internal and external systems interact, that many personal struggles are actually systemic, and that mind and body are one unit. I believe everyone can grow, change, and heal.

My goals for you

We begin by naming your desired outcome and the pain point you want resolved first. Then we assess strengths and resources, and identify skill gaps to fill with education. Along the way, we tackle trauma, distortions, negative self-talk, bad narratives, and old habits. I work with you, not at you.

Our first session

First sessions are information gathering focused without feeling like an interrogation. Uncertainty or anxiety are pretty universal if you have never been to therapy before. The collaborative process will move at your pace.
