My communication style

My style is warm yet dynamic, and I find humor especially useful in dealing with difficult situations. You'll probably find that I laugh a lot with you during sessions. I do my best to make sure clients feel comfortable, and I'm willing to answer questions about me.

My journey to mental healthcare

A close family member struggled with their mental health, and I saw how poorly some therapists managed sessions. I wanted to do better. I got my start in community mental health, focusing on trauma and attachment work, and transitioned to private practice working with adults.

My goals for you

Progress looks different for everyone, so we work together on what your goals should be and you decide what achievement looks like. I may suggest focus areas based on what you share. Goal setting is collaborative, and we check in on progress regularly.

Our first session

During the first couple of sessions, we focus on getting to know each other and talking about the process. I'll ask questions to understand why you chose therapy and what your needs are. You get to control the pace at which you share things with me. It takes time to build trust.
