My communication style

My communication style in therapy is warm, empathetic, friendly, and honest, with moments of humor that might have you laughing hysterically.

My journey to mental healthcare

I chose a career as a therapist because I genuinely want to help people navigate their challenges and find healing. I've always been fascinated by psychology; learning about the brain and human experiences has deepened my understanding of what you might be going through.

My goals for you

I approach goal-setting by asking clients what they hope to achieve in a few months to a year and what it would look like for them to no longer need therapy. I also explore what strategies they've used in the past to reach their goals. I understand that goals in therapy may change, so I encourage regular check-ins.

Our first session

Clients can expect a non-judgmental and warm environment to discuss their feelings during the initial sessions. I recognize that this can be daunting, so building rapport is essential in those early meetings.
