My communication style

My communication style is thoughtful, empathetic, and supportive, while also being direct. I’m not afraid to ask questions that may challenge a client. I recognize that this approach isn’t for everyone, and I value honesty in our sessions. I believe that being honest with oneself is the foundation of therapy—& also one of the most difficult steps.

My goals for you

I use SMART goals to help clients identify and define what they want to accomplish, supporting their ability to self-determine meaningful and achievable outcomes. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, providing a clear and structured framework for progress.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. You’ll have space to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, at your own pace. We talk about expectations, and your initial goals. This helps create a clear and supportive foundation for our work together. As you share your story, we will decide next steps for your sessions.
