My communication style

The tone and environment for sessions are calming and assertive in order to discuss the areas needing work/support. You may feel challenged at times, with the intention to dive deeper into underlying issues that may benefit from being resolved.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey as a therapist was established when I took my first psychology class in high school. I knew this was where I wanted to invest my time and energy because of the importance Mental Health has on one's life. I decided to major in Psychology and received my undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by identifying current areas of life that are causing impairments, asking where you want to see change and how you want to achieve that change. We discuss your role and mine in supporting that process. Once that is established, we can set a realistic and measurable goal to work towards together.

Our first session

The first session is about connecting and building a trusting relationship. History taking occurs to gather a better picture of areas where the challenges may arise and other possible areas that can benefit from addressing them in therapy.
