My communication style

My approach to therapy creates a warm, safe setting where you can honestly express yourself. It is never judgmental and acknowledges that your experience is important and valid. It is a setting where you are understood and accepted.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always enjoyed listening to the experiences of others. I became a therapist because I am intrigued by the fact that each of us has a story that shapes our reality: who we are, how we live, our goals, values, and what is most meaningful to us. Helping others navigate life's difficulties and lead more fulfilling lives has been my life's work.

My goals for you

Establishing your goals in therapy is our priority. As my client, you are the only one who truly knows what goals will guide our therapy. My role is as your guide, helping you to clarify these goals.

Our first session

During the first session, my goal is always to gain as much information about you as I can to know you more fully. It includes a brief assessment for this purpose. Your background, history, and experience are very important as we start our journey towards your goals.
