My communication style

I like to create a safe and comfortable environment in which clients can open up. I spend time establishing rapport and often use humor to strengthen the therapeutic relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always found it rewarding to be the person someone can talk to about their problems without fear of judgment. I was interested in the human mind and why people do the things they do, so I pursued a path working directly with people to explore their problems and focus on mental health.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to set goals. I believe the client should decide when they want to address their problems and therefore focus on setting goals that meet the client's current needs.

Our first session

I like to get a sense of what you're struggling with by going over when your problems started and how you're currently coping. I want to understand your motivation to engage in therapy, your past therapy experiences, and address your expectations and any questions or concerns you may have. We'll work together to set goals.
