My communication style

I believe in open, honest communication, always keeping your best interests at the forefront. We're a team, and I value making decisions together so the process feels empowering and collaborative. My goal is to create a space where you can safely express all emotions and feel genuinely seen and heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up in a single-parent household was challenging—I often felt isolated and alone. Finding community through sports became a turning point, providing a safe outlet to express my emotions. My first experience in therapy was life-changing. I began to see how the ways I was protecting myself were also holding me back.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a partnership, where we work together to create a plan that feels right for you. I use a solution-focused approach, integrating tools and worksheets to help us explore patterns and current coping strategies. Together, we'll identify goals that align with your values and needs.

Our first session

Our first session will be a welcoming space for you to share what's on your mind and express any thoughts or feelings you've been carrying. We'll discuss your background, current challenges, and set some initial goals. I'm here to listen, answer any questions, and ensure you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way.
