My communication style

I spend time actively listening to help develop rapport. My communication style is open and personable. I create a space where dialogue is interpersonal, full of exploratory questions, and validating. You can expect to feel heard and supported throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started when I was nominated as a school peer mediator. This experience sparked my love for psychology and helping people become their best selves. I developed a passion for not only solving problems, but also empowering others to reach their full potential.

My goals for you

I believe goal setting in therapy is important and person-centered. You are the driver of your own car, and as your therapist, I am the passenger on your therapeutic journey. I work in a professional, collaborative way, helping you set, improve, reach, and track your goals. Homework will be assigned to fit your needs.

Our first session

In your first session with me, you can expect professionalism, to feel heard, and to be provided a safe space to begin your therapeutic process. Be prepared to answer questions about your presenting problem so I can gain better insight and understanding about who you are, as well as to help establish trust and rapport.
