My communication style

Relationship building is important to me as the process of building client/therapist rapport. I like to get to know what is important to the client, what their interests are, and the important people in their lives. I hope that the client feels they have a space to share and feel empowered in an environment free from judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

A young relative of mine struggled with behavioral issues and was helped significantly through counseling and play therapy. Witnessing that transformation inspired me to work in mental health and support people through their most challenging times.

My goals for you

This will begin in the initial assessment. The client is coming to therapy for a reason, and goal setting is based on your needs. We will look at this together and make decisions collaboratively to focus our time on meeting your goals in a safe space.

Our first session

During our initial assessment, we will begin by getting to know each other. Whether this is your first therapy session or you have been through the process before. It is important that, as the client, you feel seen and heard while I get a sense of your needs. You need to feel comfortable throughout the process, and it begins with our first session.
