My communication style

My style is warm and laid back. I work to challenge shame and normalize stigmas surrounding mental health and trauma recovery. I encourage laughter and lightness wherever appropriate. I want you to feel comfortable, safe, and supported—a space where you can bring challenges, find solutions, and leave feeling empowered.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm a survivor of traumatic experiences, and I've learned that leaning solely on yourself often isn't enough. Strong ongoing support systems are essential for trauma survivors navigating recovery. I felt called to do this work so I can be that support for others.

My goals for you

I don't function from a place of authority—we're working as a team with a shared goal. I'm open to feedback and any materials you'd like to bring to therapy. My motto is "It's deep, but it does not have to be heavy." Let me help you with whatever you've been struggling to carry, and let's find a way to lighten that load.

Our first session

The first session with me is inviting, warm, and friendly. Meeting with a stranger to tell them your business can be intimidating, so I strive to make new clients feel comfortable and seen.
