My communication style

I’m not a “warm and sweet” therapist and that’s intentional. I’m just a real person who will listen, be honest with you, and create a space where you can talk without worrying about being judged. Every now and then, I’ll hopefully offer one of those little gems of insight that makes you stop and think, “Huh… I never looked at it that way before.”

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a counselor because I wanted to help people, but along the way I discovered something deeper: I enjoy watching someone learn new skills, see life differently, and eventually realize they don’t need me anymore. There’s a real sense of pride in watching people succeed and move forward on their own.

My goals for you

I like to keep goals simple: What do you want your life to look like 3–6 months from now, and how can we start moving in that direction? We’ll figure it out together, check in along the way, and adjust as you grow, check things off, or life inevitably changes.

Our first session

During a first session I will cover some basic information about what it is like to do therapy with me, confidentiality, therapy history (if any), and ensure that you are in a safe mental state. Then the floor is yours to share what’s going on in life. We’ll explore goals and, if there’s time, begin looking at how your history may play a role.
