My communication style

Therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you feel truly seen, heard, and respected. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in curiosity. I listen actively and ask thoughtful questions to understand your experience. I keep our conversations focused on what matters most—your goals, values, and growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit. I've always been drawn to understanding people—not just their struggles, but their stories, strengths, and how they make meaning of their lives.

My goals for you

We'll work together to figure out what matters to you and set meaningful, doable goals. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you notice and shift patterns holding you back. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps you make room for difficult emotions and take action aligned with your values.

Our first session

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it's completely normal to feel a little nervous. My goal is to create a space that feels both professional and approachable—where you feel safe, respected, and supported. In our first session, we'll start by reviewing confidentiality. From there, we'll begin getting to know each other.
