Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I believe everyone deserves compassionate, inclusive mental health care, no matter who they are. In our sessions, you’ll never be expected to “have it all together." Come as you are, whether that’s with a smile, a sigh, or a little bit of both. I’m here to listen, guide, and support you through whatever challenges you’re facing. My approach is professional yet human, with space for open conversations and a bit of humor. Because sometimes, a good laugh is just as healing as a good insight. Together, we’ll work toward healing and personal growth, with empathy, practical strategies, and a few laughs along the way.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
While I use a range of evidence-based methods (like CBT, Mindfulness, and more), but I also believe humor and lightness can be powerful tools in the healing process. While I'll ask the tough questions, don't be surprised if I throw in a joke or a pop culture reference to make the journey a bit more enjoyable.
