My communication style

I prioritize actively listening to what you share while also focusing on the unspoken. I seek to be transparent and genuine, and I frequently check in to ensure our sessions are productive. I encourage open communication in whatever form is comfortable for you, whether that's swearing, crying, silence, or laughter.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've wanted to be a clinical psychologist since I was young. It wasn't until I was practically done with all of my training that I really figured out what I wanted to do with psychology: help people manage life after experiencing stressful events and cope with distressing symptoms.

My goals for you

Reaching goals is different for everyone, which means my approach is flexible. I collaboratively work with you to determine what steps toward reaching your goals will look like. We'll explore what your symptoms are getting in the way of and what your life will look like if therapy is working.

Our first session

My focus for our first session is building our therapeutic relationship and helping you feel comfortable. I'll ask you to share what's bringing you to therapy, what you're hoping to get out of it, and where you're hoping therapy can take you in life. If you're uncertain, that's okay—we can figure it out together.
