My communication style

I hope to provide clear and effective communication during sessions to continue to build an environment that will thrive and prosper. I practice active listening and empathy to continue to build rapport and support as a provider during this time.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being able to see the reslience of people is what encourage me to pursue this field. Helping others find their own self worth and sense of meaning has been very impactful. To be able to be a part of someone's healing journey is both encouraging and rewarding.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy works best when it is truly collaborative, when we create goals together that reflect your values, your needs, and the changes you hope to see in your life. From the very beginning, we take time to clarify what matters most to you, explore the challenges bringing you to therapy, and identify the outcomes that matter most.

Our first session

Your first session is all about helping you feel welcomed, understood, and comfortable. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other and to begin building a supportive relationship where you feel safe to share your experiences. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out or to say anything you’re not ready for. We will move at your pace.
