My communication style

My communication style is warm, conversational, and collaborative. I listen closely, reflect what I hear, and gently challenge when needed to help you see new perspectives. I use plain language so you feel comfortable and understood. Humor and lightness often find their way into sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist is deeply personal. I've faced times of loss, change, and uncertainty that left me feeling untethered. Walking through those seasons taught me how important it is to have support, perspective, and tools to help navigate life's challenges.

My goals for you

I help you set and reach treatment goals by starting with how you want to feel in your daily life—whether that's calmer, more confident, more connected, or simply at peace. Together, we translate those feelings into realistic, measurable steps that fit your lifestyle and strengths.

Our first session

A first session with me is all about setting a tone of comfort and collaboration. I start by getting to know you—not just your struggles, but also your story, your strengths, and what brings you to therapy right now. Together, we'll identify your goals in a way that feels doable and meaningful.

I identify as...
