My communication style

I love to create a relaxing and open environment for clients. I always focus on providing a judgment-free space for clients by being mindful of the aspects of courage and vulnerabilities that come with engaging in therapy. I encourage a transparent style of communication in order to obtain feedback about our therapeutic rapport and interventions.

My journey to mental healthcare

Since I was young, friends came to me when they needed someone to listen. I knew then I wanted to be a therapist and help others. My concern for humanity begins with the individual; I have devoted my life to providing care and healing to those in distress.

My goals for you

Goal setting can be broad and uncertain when it comes to therapy. I focus on helping clients navigate their goals and therapeutic journey by establishing the organization and priority skills regarding the different concerns clients have that create barriers for clients to achieve their utmost potential.

Our first session

In my first sessions with clients, I begin by getting to know one another. I focus on understanding a client's experience and perceptions regarding therapy, their expectations and goals. I also discuss the benefits and frameworks of therapy to establish a cohesive therapeutic alliance.
