My communication style

I aim to create a respectful and receptive environment for you to feel comfortable expressing your thoughts and feelings and to explore your inner promptings. This working environment is focused and attentive. I like to ask clarifying questions to encourage you to look deeper.

My journey to mental healthcare

During my career in the helping professions, which includes teaching, social work, and leadership positions, I have always held the therapist role as central to my calling. It energizes me to practice deep listening and intuition to help people find their paths forward.

My goals for you

I believe that it is important to set goals at the outset of therapy and to continue to refocus and refine these goals during the course of treatment. The goals are helpful for providing direction, but are not the end result of our work together.

Our first session

The purpose of our initial session is to get to know each other and to make an outline of our work together. My goal during this session is to acquaint you with my style of working and to understand you and your goals in therapy. After the first session, I expect that you will know whether you would like to continue with me.
