I received poor treatment from a mental health professional during a time I needed support. I kept thinking what if I had been another patient they mistreated? What if that mockery turned that person off from getting help or worse?

Young adults/adults looking to make positive changes in their lives to be the best versions of themselves possible.

Clients ready to explore who they are and what parts of themselves have gone unnurtured. Clients who are willing to examine their inner dialogue and how it impacts their self-worth.

You get out of therapy what you put into it.

I wanted to find a place I could grow with and allow me to expand professionally.

I just want to give people the support I didn't have in the past.

The first session is all about gathering information on your health history and establishing rapport. It is an opportunity to learn about you and for you to ask me any questions we may have. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, what you would like to get out of it, and go over some housekeeping details such as practice policies. I do my best to make all sessions as comfortable and organic as possible. At the end of the day, it's a conversation. Feel free to bring a cup of your favorite coffee or tea along!

I want to establish a safe space for them and also give them an idea of what therapy actually is.

My approach is conversational, challenging, and inquisitive. I also like to utilize humor when allowed.

I love being outside and in nature: hiking, traveling, going to the beach or park, and exploring new places. A cup of coffee is always a plus! I also enjoy playing video games, watching favorite anime shows, reading anything from novels, memoirs, and manga, and having new experiences.

My faith.
