My communication style

I explore by asking open-ended questions to understand what impacts your mental health. I engage in active listening by reflecting feelings and validating emotions. Showing unconditional positive regard is important to me as a therapist. I am honest, clear, and educational when teaching skills.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a marriage and family therapist was always a dream of mine as I found this career to be rewarding and meaningful. Having the opportunity to work with individuals, families, and couples in need is important to me and is something I look forward in doing daily.

My goals for you

Therapy can be challenging for many people as it is difficult to know where to begin. I believe setting SMART goals is extremely important in one's treatment plan. Knowing what you want to achieve and work on in therapy sets clear expectations and can be helpful in identifying one's progress.

Our first session

Our first session will be focused on getting to know each other and we will discuss more about the reason why you are in therapy. I understand therapy can be intimidating and uncomfortable for you, but you're not alone in this journey as I will be guiding you through the process of therapy.
