My communication style

I believe in the power of reflective and effective communication styles. Healthy communication isn't always about sharing your thoughts. It is also about listening, with the goal of understanding, what the other individual is trying to convey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in an environment where mental health is of little importance. In fact, mental health services were either unheard of or considered a topic not to be discussed outside of the family. What motivated me to become a therapist was my passion for teaching. I want to educate as many people as I can about the importance of mental health.

My goals for you

Some people come to me with specific, therapeutic goals in mind. I help them create or envision a treatment plan that aligns with their goals. In cases where individuals feel lost or unsure of their goals, I will help them explore, process, and discover what motivated them to engage in therapy.

Our first session

I encourage individuals to come to our first session with a curious, open mind and to also trust their intuition. Therapeutic relationships between client and therapist must include mutual trust, respect, open-mindedness, and feelings of safety. Therefore, the initial session with me is all about exploration of compatibility.
