My communication style

It is a privilege for me to work with clients who are seeking change but are not sure how to get there. In non-judgmental ways, I assure that clients are comfortable so that we are can address the issues they want to work on. I am solution focused, so I am direct about the work required for the client to make necessary changes to meet goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was in the business world of marketing. I decided to go back to graduate school to study counseling psychology. I consider it a privilege that people come to me and trust that I am able to help them.

My goals for you

I work with the client to mutually create goals that are attainable and to look at how those goals can be measured to reflect growth and change. I ask outright how the client would know if therapy was working in 3 months, 6 months, etc.

Our first session

My style is to create rapport by asking questions in a nonthreatening manner so I can help client to clarify what might be stealing his/her joy in life. I explain in advance what will happen in the session. When it ends, I ask client their comfort level in continuing therapy or if they want to think about it and let me know.
