My communication style

I let you know from the start that sessions are your time to talk about whatever you wish. I may ask questions for clarification, but I'm not there to judge—just to understand. You lead; I listen and reflect what I hear.

My journey to mental healthcare

I knew I wanted to be a psychologist since the age of 14. I have always been a curious person and loved figuring out problems and solving puzzles. When a friend’s sister, who was majoring in psychology, told me what that was and what a psychologist did, I knew that it was the right profession for me.

My goals for you

Goal setting is collaborative. I ask what you hope to achieve, and near the end of our first session, we establish basic goals together. This ensures therapy aligns with what matters most to you.

Our first session

I'll briefly discuss confidentiality, then invite you to talk about why you made the appointment or what's troubling you. I'll take notes and listen. By the end, we'll identify the problems you want to address and the goals you wish to achieve.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Jewish
