My communication style

I want to create a therapeutic environment that feels laid-back and genuine. At the same time, I am direct when needed, therapy is not only about feeling supported; it is also about gaining insight. I will gently challenge unhelpful patterns, offer honest observations, and encourage you to look at things from different perspectives.

My journey to mental healthcare

Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of mental health settings, these experiences have given me the opportunity to support people facing a wide range of concerns, from trauma and substance use to anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

My goals for you

Together, we will identify areas that feel important to you and develop goals that are realistic, personal, and aligned with your values. As therapy progresses, your goals may become more specific or shift as new insights emerge.

Our first session

During our first meeting, we’ll spend time talking about you: your story, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from the experience. We’ll also cover some of the basics, such as what therapy can look like, how we’ll work together, and what feels most important for you right now.
