My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space to allow for increase in insight, growth and develop appropriate coping strategies.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges. Working with trauma survivors showed me the power of therapy in healing. I’m driven by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I like to develop strong rapport, and my therapeutic style is eclectic, collaborative, strength based and solution focused. I apply client-centered approaches to assist client with achieving their goals as well as evidenced-based modalities.
