My communication style

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe I was born with a compassionate nature, always wanting to help others, particularly those in need, as a child. To strangers and friends, I will gladly provide a listening ear and offer ways to support, at times to my detriment. With education in therapeutic counseling and intervention skills, my natural abilities are able to shine.

My goals for you

At the onset of therapy, I ask about your goals and needs from a therapeutic experience. We can collaboratively plan your treatment goals and prioritize what is most important for you.

Our first session

In our first session, I am open to answering any questions that you have about me and or my therapeutic process as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I will then ask you to share why you have come for therapy, and what has supported you best in the past. We can make a plan given the information we share to set a good working collaboration.
