My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self, so I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. I’ll meet you with care, while also being honest and direct when it’s helpful for your growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist began when I worked as a crisis line responder in college. I saw firsthand how meaningful it could be to offer support in someone’s hardest moments. That experience led me to pursue formal training in mental health. During my internship, I witnessed the positive impact of showing up consistently for clients.

My goals for you

I start by building a strong, trusting relationship and gaining a clear understanding of what you’d like to work on in therapy. Your goals guide our work, and I let you set the pace in a way that feels comfortable and true to who you are. I check in regularly to see how you're feeling concerning your stressors and progress, and adjust our approach

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I like to keep things conversational during this time so you feel comfortable, with space for you to share at your own pace. We’ll also review the basic paperwork required to get started, but most of the session is focused on you.
