My communication style

I set the tone of providing a safe space for my clients by conveying genuine understanding. Being empathic has helped my clients feel comfortable, and they can openly share their thoughts and feelings without feeling judged.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began many years earlier in high school, and I wanted to help others. I'm driven to do this work for the opportunity to be there and to be able to instill hope and support. It's genuinely fulfilling and an honor when I'm trusted to share the journey with my clients.

My goals for you

My approach to setting goals is working with my client to explore areas they want to work on, starting with building trust and listening.

Our first session

In the first session with me, the focus is to start building trust and rapport for my client to feel comfortable sharing how they've been feeling. I'll ask open-ended questions and provide the client opportunity to share, which helps me to learn more about my client and how I can support my client as we begin working together.
