My communication style

My communication style is compassionate, open, and nonjudgmental. I take the time to truly understand each client's unique needs, which helps us build a strong foundation of trust and connection. I aim to create a safe, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, without fear of criticism or pressure.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had a heart for others. At every job, I naturally found myself checking in on coworkers, listening to their struggles, and offering encouragement. Over time, I began to see how many people go through life without the support, understanding, or encouragement they need.

My goals for you

I believe setting goals can be a helpful part of the therapeutic process, and many clients come in with a general idea of what they'd like to work toward. Other times, people just need space to talk things out—and through that conversation, meaningful goals naturally begin to emerge.

Our first session

The first session is all about getting to know you in a comfortable, low-pressure environment. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, explore important areas of your life, and begin to identify what you'd like to work on—though there's no pressure to have all the answers right away.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
