My communication style

I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to express their deepest thoughts and emotions. Sessions with me are collaborative and supportive, and I balance providing structure with allowing clients to lead the conversation when they feel ready.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own experiences witnessing how emotional struggles can impact individuals and families. I’ve always been drawn to helping people navigate life’s challenges, which led me to pursue a degree in counseling.

My goals for you

I believe that goal setting is a collaborative process where clients take the lead in identifying what feels most important to them. During our sessions, I help clients clarify their priorities, break larger goals into manageable steps, and create a plan that feels both realistic and motivating.

Our first session

In the first session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming environment where they feel safe to share their stories at their own pace. I typically start by asking what brought them to counseling and what they hope to gain from the experience.
