My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I encourage my clients to be as transparent as possible, just as I will be. While I am an active listener and offer open-ended questioning in my communication, I am not shy to provide psychoeducation.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began with a passion to work with families and study the brain. I have diverse experience, as I have worked in highly acute settings, in management, in clinics, with youth, and adults. I am driven by the belief that healing begins by understanding your beliefs about who you are.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, establishing identity, 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

The first session is just a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to share a little about yourself and what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous—therapy is a process we’ll build together over time. Do not feel like you need anything prepared to share, but of course, you are welcome to share what you want.
