My communication style

I approach therapy with a very gentle and direct communication style. I think the most important thing about a therapeutic relationship is building trust and rapport, and understanding that creating a comfortable environment and safe space for a client to open up is valuable.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had a profound interest in people—understanding how they think and what life experiences have shaped them. My genuine curiosity sparked a desire to help others find joy, happiness, and a healthy connection with themselves.

My goals for you

In goal setting, I will approach the topic within the initial session. Typically, I recommend 2-3 goals to focus on during therapy as a starting point. I will assist in exploring areas of focus in identifying and outlining goals.

Our first session

In the first session, I focus heavily on building rapport. I will check in regarding what brought the client in for therapy and what their major focus will be. We will outline 2-3 goals together and agree upon the timeline for follow-up regarding progress.
