My communication style

I like to create a safe space for clients by providing an open and understanding environment for them to communicate their most challenging concerns and fears. I like to keep questions open and encourage clients to find their own strengths and path to healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I worked in child abuse and maltreatment and became very familiar with how trauma impacts families and the long-term effects when it goes unresolved. I began doing support groups with at-risk youth and realized I wanted to help people overcome intergenerational trauma and family system issues.

My goals for you

It is important to get to know each other. It usually takes a session to become comfortable and address the issues that bring you to counseling. I am not beyond asking directly what you feel is the reason for coming to therapy.

Our first session

I let you set the tone. If there are nerves, I offer an activity or exercise to help you become more comfortable. I ask open-ended questions and invite you to ask me any questions to make sure it is a good fit.
