My communication style

Open communication and trust are critical parts of our time together. I'll always be my most authentic self in our sessions, and I look forward to sharing space with you. Creating a safe space where you don't feel judged is very important to me. I lead with curiosity and empathy in my practice.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy started with a deep curiosity about people, shaped by moving around the world and experiencing different cultures. I've worked with unhoused youth, trans youth and their families, and survivors in hospital, school, and court settings. It's been an honor to see my clients grow over the years.

My goals for you

Growth and healing aren't linear. It's critical that you feel your needs are being met and that we're working together to help you meet your goals. The way we define success can look very different. I want to celebrate the small victories with you and help you grow on this journey.

Our first session

A first therapy session can seem intimidating, especially when you don't know what to expect. Our first session won't be anything like what you see in the movies—there are zero expectations. This is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. I can't wait to hear about your favorite music, movies, and what you like to do for fun.
