My communication style

The environment I like to create during a therapy session is that of comfort and understanding. I allow the client to lead the session and actively listen to their needs. I tailor each session to meet the client's current needs. What it feels like to work with me is like a conversation with someone you trust.

My journey to mental healthcare

My first experience in the mental health field was an internship at a community mental health center. I worked with a variety of clients, including adults, children, and families. I provided individual, group, and family therapy. I also conducted psychological assessments and provided case management services.

My goals for you

The way I approach goal setting with clients is by allowing them to be part of the treatment planning. I discuss their symptoms, and we collaboratively develop goals that are tailored to what they want to achieve in therapy.

Our first session

What you can expect during our first session is a simple conversation so we can get to know each other and begin developing our therapeutic rapport. I will gather information that will help me give a provisional diagnosis.
