Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
It's important to know that therapy with me is meant to feel supportive, genuine, and collaborative — not rushed, judgmental, or overly clinical. We'll work together to make sense of what you're experiencing at a pace that feels right for you, without the need to have the "right words" or everything figured out. Sessions often balance emotional support, insight building, and practical tools, so we're not just talking about challenges, but actively working towards change.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I consider myself warm, creative, humorous, and authentic, and I bring that energy into sessions. I often use real life and creative analogies to help explain complex emotional and behavioral patterns in clear, relatable ways. Clients often say I'm easy to talk to and fully present, which helps them feel comfortable opening up.
