My communication style

“When we work together, I communicate in a calm, supportive, and straightforward way. I want you to feel comfortable speaking openly, so I create a space where you’re heard without judgment and where we move at a pace that feels manageable for you. I check in often to make sure we’re on the same page, and I encourage questions, collaboration

My journey to mental healthcare

My path into mental health care grew out of my first job as direct care staff at a residential facility for youths with intellectual disability and autism. Working closely with those young people taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and truly seeing each person beyond their challenges.

My goals for you

When we set treatment goals, we do it together. I take time to understand what matters most to you—whether that’s improving your mood, managing anxiety, building healthier routines, or feeling more stable day‑to‑day—and we break those goals into steps that feel realistic and manageable. Throughout treatment, I check in with you about what’s working

Our first session

“In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you’re hoping to work on. I’ll ask questions at a pace that feels comfortable so I can understand your history, your strengths, and what support looks like for you.
