My communication style

I consider my tone of voice to be the biggest determinant of a good atmosphere in sessions and, therefore, an important tool in therapy. I like to keep a soft and controlled voice that provides calm and security to clients since my priority is to provide support and guidance.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a therapist was an almost natural thing that happened to me. From a very young age, I liked to listen and help others, and I realized that I wanted to work in the social field. I wanted to receive extensive training and a variety of treatments to help people.

My goals for you

Collaborative goal setting has always been my practice. I believe planning therapy goals with clients helps them focus on the problem behaviors and issues they want to work on in sessions and to develop realistic solutions and coping skills for their unique circumstances.

Our first session

The first session with my clients is important to both my clients and me. During the first session, I will ask clients questions to learn about them and their problems, discuss my initial thoughts and observations about what they shared with me, and provide an overview of our sessions. I will answer any questions you have.
