Therapy had such a meaningful impact on my own life, and I want others to also have extra support and a sense of clarity when experiencing certain challenges. I want them to feel less alone in their struggles and increasingly more empowered.

I work well with people who are (or willing to learn how to become) reflective and introspective. I also work best with clients who are open to receiving and giving constructive feedback when the time is right.

Therapy is not only beneficial when dealing with hardships or mental health issues. It can also be a space for personal development, clarity, and a sounding board to exchange thoughts and bounce ideas. If your expectations were not met with a past or present therapist, it is completely okay to switch until you find the one who is the right fit.

Clients can expect no pressure to share information, at any point. We will go at a pace that feels safe and manageable. My priority will be making them feel safe, respected, and not judged. The first few sessions will focus on us getting to know each other. Clients will slowly get a feel for my personality and therapeutic style, which will allow them to decide if they want us to continue meeting.

Compassion is one of the core values that I demonstrate not only in my personal life, but wholeheartedly in my work. I truly believe that people do the best they can with the resources and knowledge they have. I believe in meeting people where they are emotionally, culturally, and developmentally honoring their pace and readiness, and not rushing the process.

Every individual brings their own strengths, challenges, beliefs, and experiences. Learning styles and personalities also differ. My approach takes this into account; it is collaborative, flexible, and integrative. There is not a 'one size fits all' method to therapy. I draw from several psychotherapeutic approaches and techniques that are specific and customize to each individual.
