My communication style

I exhibit a composed, nonjudgmental, empathetic communication style while guiding you toward your needs and preferences. I adopt a collaborative and strength-based approach to facilitate the recovery process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always maintained a deep interest in providing assistance to individuals and effecting positive change in their lives. The pursuit of a career as a therapist allows me the opportunity to enhance my self-awareness and to understand the complexity of others.

My goals for you

I employ a collaborative approach to goal setting, working closely with you to align your values and priorities. I utilize the SMART goals technique, which emphasizes setting objectives that are specific, measurable, attainable, and timely.

Our first session

The initial session is about building a trusting therapeutic relationship. The session entails completion of a history of concerns, treatment objectives, and essential documentation. You will be educated on confidentiality, reporting obligations, consent to treatment, and anticipated outcomes.
