My communication style

My clients have described me as warm, sensitive, and easy to talk to. In addition, I ask questions and make supportive comments that help lead clients to heal, set boundaries, and relate better to themselves and others. In the process, I show patience as I guide them to discover strengths that will enable them to face challenges and make changes.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to be a professional helper from a young age, as I’ve been curious about how the mind and body work, and connecting with others is rewarding. From getting to help those going through their toughest times, I saw the power in caring and asking strategic questions about the problems people face. It made sense to do this for a living.

My goals for you

Within the first few sessions, I ask clients what they're hoping to achieve in therapy. We then specify emotional, behavioral, and cognitive changes that they need to make. Finally, we discuss a therapeutic approach based on the issues and their goals. Unless clients want otherwise, I tend to help them get to the root cause of their issues.

Our first session

In the first session, we start building trust and rapport as we explore changes you’re looking to make. I’ll ask a lot of questions about many areas of your life, present and past. We’ll talk about what is and isn’t working. Your questions and feedback are welcome. Whether you’d rather ease into sharing or express raw things right away, it’s okay.
