My communication style

My style is warm, genuine, conversational, and direct. I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you can be completely yourself without judgment. I’ll listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, offer honest feedback, and bring compassion and humor into the room when appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this work by a deep interest in people, resilience, and the ways our experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world. Becoming a therapist allowed me to combine that passion with evidence-based care and create a space where people can feel truly heard, supported, and empowered.

My goals for you

We’ll identify what you want to change and create goals that feel meaningful and realistic for your life. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, process underlying experiences, and regularly check in on what is—and isn’t—working for you.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know you—not rushing into your most difficult experiences. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what life looks like right now, and what you hope will change. You can ask questions, and together we’ll begin creating a plan that feels comfortable and manageable.
