My communication style

My style is friendly, gentle, and nonjudgmental. As an equal partner in your therapy, I challenge your perceptions by asking thoughtful questions without offering advice. This allows you to practice self-reflection in a secure environment, helping you construct your own reality and live a self-determined life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was raised in a family where both parents worked in health care, addressing not only medical problems but also emotional needs. I learned about the relationship between body and mind and the importance of treating the whole person. I discovered the tremendous need for mental health treatment in my community and society.

My goals for you

Goal setting allows me to understand how I can best support your unique concerns. I focus on building a foundation of trust, which is fundamental to developing a secure relationship. I will ask what your overall goal is in therapy and work with you collaboratively to explore the steps necessary for achieving your goals, big or small.

Our first session

The first session is an opportunity to share whatever concerns you have, whether issues with peers or difficulty managing anxiety. I may ask about your background, career, relationships, or interests to better understand you. There is nothing you must disclose if uncomfortable, but it helps me understand how to best support you.
