My communication style

My communication style is compassionate, while still being able to speak directly to your needs. Therapy is a space to be vulnerable, and that is a scary thing for most. I hope that a warm approach, in a safe space, can alleviate worry and help build trust.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked in outpatient therapy for youth, adults, and families for nearly 8 years. I have also worked in behavioral health integration teams and intensive wrap-around services for people of various backgrounds and needs. My path in becoming a therapist started early, in being able to connect with others, with gentle support and empathy.

My goals for you

Being honest is the most important part of ensuring you are on a path toward healing and creating the change you want to see. I’m drawn to building understanding of what shapes our connections: how we communicate, how we protect ourselves, how we seek closeness, and how our earliest experiences shape our relationships with others.

Our first session

Therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to offer a safe and supportive space. Early in our work together, we explore what brings you to therapy, what feels most challenging right now, and what you hope will feel different moving forward. If you feel like we may be a good fit, I am happy to connect with you.
