My communication style

I believe in clear, open, and direct communication to create a supportive, growth-oriented environment. I use active and reflective listening, providing guidance and encouragement as an empathetic partner. When we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be supportive and fully engaged in processing with you.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapist journey began after recognizing the significant gap in mental and behavioral health support for children and adolescents. I've worked as an onsite mental health therapist throughout the school system and on college campuses, dedicated to enriching the lives of youth and families in the community.

My goals for you

Therapy is an evolving journey, and with an adaptive approach, I encourage you to step into your own power. Together, we create a collaborative, goal-oriented therapeutic experience. I utilize various modalities depending on your unique needs, working from a solution-focused, strengths-based lens.

Our first session

Your first session is a judgment-free, welcoming opportunity for us to get to know one another and ensure it feels like the right fit. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step.
