My communication style

I work to understand what you're experiencing and build rapport. I provide supportive problem-solving and collaboration while being a listening ear. I pride myself on listening without judgment and offering realistic reminders of what is healthy so we can work toward optimal mental wellness.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to help people navigate difficult moments and build the skills they need to thrive. Being a neutral, outside perspective allows me to support clients in ways their everyday relationships cannot.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is about working together to define what you want to accomplish. This starts by building trust and getting comfortable with therapy. Over time, we'll set goals and track your progress. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and vent to, and I can be that neutral person with an outside view.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time talking about your experience with counseling, what worked well or didn't, and what brings you to therapy now. I'll ask questions to better understand why you may be feeling this way. The first session is about building an initial connection and helping me understand where we should go from there.
