My communication style

You can expect a calm, caring, and empathetic presence. I communicate with honesty and compassion, and while I won't always tell you what you want to hear, I'll always speak with respect and intention. I'm open but direct, and I'll gently challenge your thinking when needed, helping you reframe beliefs that may be holding you back.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into social work began while supporting my father through his cancer diagnosis. A compassionate oncology social worker made a lasting impression on our family, sparking in me a strong desire to offer that same care to others. I've worked across hospice care, adoption services, residential treatment, and therapy with diverse populations.

My goals for you

From our first session, we'll identify what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain. I see our relationship as a partnership—your goals guide our work. Together, we'll set meaningful goals and check in regularly. I encourage you to apply what we discuss between sessions.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and explore what brought you to therapy. We'll discuss your goals, needs, and questions, while setting clear expectations. I understand starting therapy can feel scary. This is a judgment-free space where you can express yourself openly.
