My communication style

My communication style is warm, respectful, and genuine. I aim to be straightforward and compassionate, offering insight while respecting your pace and perspective. I'm committed to culturally sensitive, affirming care that honors your unique identity, including support for the LGBTQIA+ community.

My journey to mental healthcare

Before becoming a therapist, people often told me I had an instinct for helping others and would go the extra mile to make sure they were cared for. Supporting others through difficult times has always come naturally to me. My ability to connect and offer meaningful support inspired me to pursue therapy as a career.

My goals for you

I'll help you identify what's most important to you and create a clear, realistic path forward. We'll work together to form a treatment plan, check in regularly, adjust as needed, and recognize the progress you've made. I provide a safe, encouraging space where you can feel confident in making meaningful changes.

Our first session

It's normal to feel nervous about opening up to someone new. I start by introducing myself and sharing about my background to help you feel at ease. There's no pressure to tell your whole story right away; we'll go at a pace that feels right for you. I'll walk you through the basics, such as confidentiality and what to expect.
