My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and easy to engage with. I aim to create a calm and non-judgmental environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts openly. With empathy at the core of my approach, I focus on being a good listener and responding thoughtfully to meet you where you are.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a social worker. My inspiration came from spending summers with my aunt, who was also a social worker. She embodied compassion and always prioritized the needs of her clients. Currently, I work with adults, but I also have experience working with children and their families.

My goals for you

I will partner with you to uncover your true aspirations and what matters most in your life. Together, we will break things down into small, manageable steps, ensuring the journey feels empowering rather than overwhelming.

Our first session

I understand that starting therapy can be intimidating. However, the first session is simply a conversation—a chance for us to get to know each other. You can share whatever you feel comfortable discussing about what brought you here. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and more at ease than when you arrived.
