My communication style

I build trust through active listening, empathy, and respect. I use questions to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and provide psycho-education to teach skills and strategies that support your growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began as an elementary teacher and discovered I loved listening to students' stories more than teaching. This led me to pursue counseling, where my compassionate, introverted nature allows me to listen deeply. Working as a team with clients to reduce symptoms and resolve issues brings me great fulfillment.

My goals for you

We establish therapy goals together through conversation and review them every six months to evaluate progress. My focus is helping you reduce the frequency, duration, and intensity of symptoms so you can achieve meaningful change.

Our first session

The first session focuses on building a respectful, trusting rapport. I conduct a detailed intake assessment exploring how biological, psychological, and social factors affect your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Together, we'll establish a treatment plan with clear goals and objectives.
