My communication style

I approach goal setting as a collaborative and individualized process. At the start, I take time to understand your values, priorities, and current challenges. Together, we identify goals that are both meaningful and realistic—whether that's improving sleep, reducing anxiety, managing mood swings, or strengthening daily functioning.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe physical health is deeply interconnected with emotional and mental wellness. This connection inspired me to pursue mental health care. Each individual is unique, calling for deeper self-understanding. When we better understand ourselves, we gain tools to manage our mental health and well-being more effectively.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative, flexible, and values-driven process that centers the client as an active participant in their care. From the outset, I work to understand what the client hopes will be different in their life as a result of treatment, rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction.

Our first session

During our first session, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment. My priority is to make you feel safe, heard, and respected. We'll discuss your current concerns, medical and mental health history, lifestyle, and previous treatment experiences. This session focuses on understanding your story and what brought you in.
