My communication style

The tone/ environment I create for sessions is that of an accepting, understanding, compassionate, creative, and collaborative one. I place a mindful and present emphasis on the therapeutic relationship throughout treatment to build trust and rapport.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had a deep interest in understanding people and their experiences. I find it incredibly meaningful to help others navigate life's challenges, discover their strengths, and find healing. Healing happens through the use of creativity and engagement in art, community, and culture.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative and evolving process. Together, we'll determine initial goals at the outset of treatment and periodically assess and adjust them as needed. Goals help set the tone and direction for our work together.

Our first session

Client’s can expect a warm, welcoming and supportive environment. I will discuss reasons for seeking treatment, and ask some questions to get to know client’s better and understand what they're hoping to achieve together in therapy. I’ll also talk about the structure of therapy and answer any questions client’s may have.
