My Approach

I read the room and adjust, sometimes offering gentle encouragement, other times leaning into tougher conversations. I like to have a loose roadmap while leaving room to explore what shows up in the moment. Therapy with me is a real conversation. I bring my training and perspective, and I genuinely want to hear yours. I pair genuine warmth with a curious, analytical mind, and faith and spirituality are always welcome in our conversations.

Balanced pace: moves at a steady rhythm, not rushing or lingering

Warm with insight: supportive and empathetic, with thoughtful observations

Flexible structure: has a plan but follows your lead when needed

True partnership: works alongside you, sharing perspective while inviting yours
