My communication style

I believe therapeutic rapport is essential in therapy, established through a trusting and respectful relationship. I bring a warm, friendly, and non-judgmental tone. I use gentle confrontation when needed but remain sensitive to cues. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate.

My journey to mental healthcare

Personal experiences that I endured and overcame attracted me to become a therapist. In that journey, I learned the importance of helping myself before helping others. Giving back to those who invite me into their world to facilitate change drives me and gives me passion. It is part of my spiritual journey and makes me a better person.

My goals for you

Goal setting will be established by you with my guidance as we identify short-term and long-term goals based on what you want to achieve. I will make suggestions on how to achieve those goals, with you determining what works best. This process may include trial and error as you discover what works and what does not work for you.

Our first session

The first session will include small talk and some laughter as we build our therapeutic alliance, which will continue throughout the therapeutic process. My goal is for you to know you are not alone and there is commonality in what you are going through, as well as to instill hope for change.
