My communication style

My communication style is calm, curious, and patient. I strive to foster a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive environment that allows you to speak openly and honestly.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a social worker almost 25 years ago because I wanted to support and serve children, families, individuals, and the community in which I was born and raised. I realized the stigma around mental health and seeking support. I became a licensed clinical social worker because I want to normalize talking about mental health and getting support.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with you is a partnership approach. We start with learning what you would like to gain from therapy, what's worked in the past, what you desire for the future. I then help you develop specific and realistic short-term and long-term goals.

Our first session

My goal is to provide you with a safe and supportive session and start to build trust. This is a time for me to get to know you in areas such as your health, well-being, strengths, and challenges; learn about how you have been feeling and what led you to seek support at this time. I'll ask questions to help me better understand your experiences.
