My communication style

In sessions, I aim to create a space where you feel truly heard and understood. My communication style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I listen closely to your experiences and reflect back what I hear, so together we can make sense of your thoughts and feelings. When offering feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider was deeply influenced by my own therapeutic experience. I started therapy in high school, during a time when I was learning who I was and how to navigate the challenges in front of me. Having someone listen without judgment, create a safe space for me to process, and believe in my potential.

My goals for you

I help clients establish goals by first providing psychoeducation on the purpose of therapy and offering examples of what therapy goals can look like. If it feels hard to name goals at the start, I might use tools like the “miracle question” or send home reflection worksheets that we process together in session.

Our first session

The first session is focused on building rapport and creating a space where you feel comfortable and supported. We’ll spend time talking about what brings you to therapy, exploring expectations from both of us, and reviewing some psychoeducation about the process so you know what to expect.
