My communication style

My communication style is direct, supportive, and down-to-earth. I believe in being honest while creating a space that feels safe and nonjudgmental. I often use humor in sessions to help break down barriers, ease tension, and build genuine connection. Therapy doesn't always have to be heavy to be effective.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a social worker because I've always been someone people turned to for support. Listening, offering empathy, and helping others feel understood came naturally, and I realized early on that I wanted to turn that ability into a meaningful career.

My goals for you

I use a client-centered approach, meaning you set the focus and pace based on what feels most important to you. At the same time, I'm not afraid to gently point out patterns or stuck points that might be getting in the way. My goal is to support your growth while challenging you when needed so we can work together toward meaningful, lasting change.

Our first session

In our first session, I take time to get to know you—not just what brought you to therapy, but also who you are as a person. We'll talk about your interests, daily life, relationships, and anything else you feel comfortable sharing. We'll also start identifying your goals and discuss what you'd like to get out of the process.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
