My communication style

My communication style is open, empathetic, and collaborative. My main goal is to help you feel empowered, seen, heard, and supported throughout the therapy process. I believe in creating a space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself without fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was initially drawn to a career as a therapist because growing up, I noticed how difficult it could be for people to find the support and understanding they needed, and that inspired me to pursue a career as a social worker. What continues to drive me in this work is the privilege of witnessing personal growth and transformation in my clients.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is very much a collaborative process. I believe you're the expert on your own life, and my role is to help guide you in identifying what you want to work on and how you'd like to achieve those changes.

Our first session

At the beginning of our work together, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy and what you're hoping to accomplish. From there, we can work together to break those broader goals into smaller, more manageable goals that will help guide our work together over time.
