My communication style

I am a very relational and person-centered clinician. I believe that trust and the therapeutic relationship are at the core of any profound work that can be done in the therapeutic setting. I want people to feel seen, heard, and witnessed in a way that feels safe, nurturing, and aligned with who they are as a person.

My journey to mental healthcare

I first began my journey to becoming a therapist when I was 20 years old. In short, life had dealt me a hand that offered me the ability to experience varying degrees of adversity and opened my mind and heart to the depths of how complex the human experience can be.

My goals for you

Goal setting can be concrete or as fluid as you would like. As a person-centered clinician, I always find it helpful to make sure that the client is at the center of goal setting and holds a primary seat at the table when creating meaningful goals and objectives that are aligned with you, your hopes, and desires.

Our first session

During our first session, it is important that we take some time to get to know one another and begin the process of developing trust. I like to offer a space for my clients to ask any questions or name any fears, anxieties, or concerns they may have about starting their therapeutic journey.
