My communication style

I strive to create a counseling environment that is both supportive and approachable. My communication style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, helping clients feel comfortable sharing openly without fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist later in life, after experiencing my own journey of change, resilience, and growth. I’ve always been drawn to helping people figure out who they are and how to live in alignment with their values, even when life feels complicated or overwhelming.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by working collaboratively to identify what matters most to them and breaking those goals down into manageable steps. Together, we explore strengths, challenges, and patterns that may be getting in the way, while also building practical coping skills that can be applied in daily life.

Our first session

Your first session with me is about getting to know each other and starting to build a comfortable, supportive relationship. I understand that beginning counseling can feel intimidating, so I work to set a relaxed tone right from the start.
