My communication style

I believe communication and collaboration between client and therapist are significant to therapy outcomes. I encourage openness to sharing thoughts and feelings to create a safe environment. I am mindful of what I say and how I say it, putting my observations empathically into words to validate your experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a genuine interest in social interactions, human behaviors, and how the mind works. I find it rewarding to see positive results from treatment. It is fulfilling to help people work through difficult times, gain better understanding of themselves, and view their experiences from new perspectives.

My goals for you

In setting goals, I start with an interview process to discuss your goals and help prioritize them based on anticipated time frames. I encourage you to be honest and clear about what you expect to gain from therapy.

Our first session

During our first session, I will share my therapeutic orientation and clinical experiences. I will ask about what brings you to therapy, your psychosocial information, and what you hope to achieve. I will reflect back on what was shared and offer feedback. You will likely determine if our therapeutic relationship is a good fit.
