My communication style

I know the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to process their emotions and think more clearly. My communication style is a combination of being empathetic, direct, and personable to help my clients feel validated and heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

Early on, I recognized the complexities of family and social dynamics and how they can have an immense impact on who we become and how we view ourselves. I want to be someone others can find support in, helping them navigate life when it becomes too difficult. I want to be able to help others live the life they want for themselves.

My goals for you

I work together with my clients to develop goals they would like to work on in therapy. I hope to support my clients in building their self-confidence, recognizing their strengths, and developing healthier coping strategies so they can meet their therapeutic goals.

Our first session

We will spend our first session going over what you can expect from therapy and answering any questions you may have. It's also for me to learn more about you and how you've been feeling recently. The first session is about building rapport, learning more about your experiences, and exploring your goals for therapy.
