My communication style

I promote clear, honest, and open communication in a safe, nonjudgmental, and shame-free zone. Providing space for reflection allows perceptions to shift, where your direction becomes more purposeful and meaningful. You can expect empathy and patience from me as your provider.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began with an interest in helping others in a way often misunderstood and stigmatized. The human spirit and resiliency are powerful, enabling people to find strength during life's complicated challenges. I'm amazed by the mind-body connection and ability to grow and transform.

My goals for you

Your goals are tailored to your specific needs and expectations, whether improving self-esteem, managing anxiety, or combating traumatic triggers. Goals can shift, modify, and change as we work together. I look forward to providing you with the support, effective tools, and encouragement you may need along the way.

Our first session

My primary goal during the initial session is for us to get to know each other at a pace you're comfortable with. We'll discuss your background, what has worked in the past, and what has not. I'm here to guide you through the process and will work alongside you as we create and prioritize your therapeutic goals.
