My communication style

Throughout the therapy process, I prioritize open and honest communication with my clients. I strive to create an empathic, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where my clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, feelings, and concerns without fear of judgment. I actively listen to what clients share and encourage questions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into this field began in 2007, when I began to work with children who struggle with mental illness and intellectual disabilities as a psychiatric aide and a case manager for 11 years. In those positions, I felt like I was able to make a difference in my clients' lives, so I decided to become a mental health therapist.

My goals for you

You will be encouraged to participate in setting goals, practicing new techniques, and reflecting on your progress. I may suggest exercises or “homework” between sessions—these are designed to help you apply what you’re learning and build confidence in your new skills.

Our first session

When you begin therapy, your journey typically starts with a warm, collaborative conversation. We will get to know one another, your experiences, and what brings you to therapy. Together, we will identify the concerns you want to address—whether it’s anxiety, depression, stress, or other challenges—and set meaningful goals for your treatment.
