My communication style

My communication style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in mutual respect. I aim to create a space where you feel truly heard, while also offering honest reflections and support to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a therapist wasn't my first career—but it's the one that feels most aligned with who I am. I started in the military, then moved into corporate environments where I witnessed burnout, identity struggles, and the constant push to have it all together. I wanted to do work that felt more personal and human, which led me to therapy.

My goals for you

Therapy is a collaborative process, and I'm here to support you in identifying what matters and taking meaningful steps toward those goals. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or change, we'll explore what's in the way and develop practical strategies. My approach combines deep listening with evidence-based techniques.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about your background, life experiences, and what's bringing you to therapy at this time. It's completely normal to feel a little nervous—starting therapy is a big step. We'll move at your pace, one step at a time, in a way that feels comfortable and supportive.
