My communication style

Symptoms are signals, not setbacks *You set the pace *You always have the right to say "no" or pause therapy. I stay trauma-informed, committed to learning and evolving during treatment *I make sure you can cope effectively before we revisit the past

My journey to mental healthcare

I experienced my own healing in a therapeutic space. My effectiveness as a therapist has a lot to do with the fact that I have sat where clients sit, seeking new solutions to living as a result of emotional and psychological pain. My healing journey, and having done my own work, gives me a good platform for a compassionate space for my clients.

My goals for you

Goal setting is different with each client, because what works for one may not work for another. I work to hear the authentic needs of my clients and support them in the ways that they need to be supported.

Our first session

The first session can be exhausting for the client and stir everything up internally. I suggest a lot of rest for about 7s hours following the first session
