My communication style

My approach includes a lot of curiosity and is strongly interactional, while giving space for trust and ease to build. Questions are common. Emotional safety is essential and monitored at all times. Positives and progress are amplified. Exercises that may strengthen whatever you'd like to grow are offered.

My journey to mental healthcare

The transformational power of talk therapy was what drew me to become a therapist. As a young adult, I found a therapist who listened deeply and validated often, allowing my true voice to emerge. I chose Clinical Social Work because the core training is defined as working with "a person-in-their-environment," which I find deeply respectful.

My goals for you

In the first few meetings, I'll ask, "How are you going to know you're done with therapy? What might that look like?" It's an important touchpoint because my ultimate goal is to monitor progress on where or who you want to be. Learning "why now," and how you adapted to navigate life, sharpens the understanding of optimal change tools.

Our first session

Our first meeting is an opportunity to connect, learn a bit about each other, identify what successful therapy means to you, and review important safety, privacy, and after-hours protocols. Questions are welcome. Come as you are, and we'll go from there!
