My communication style

Humor in therapy? Absolutely! I take an easygoing approach, actively listen to the issues at hand, and process and explore what's happening in your life. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

My brother was diagnosed with Paranoid schizophrenia when I was a teen, and after witnessing what he went through, my passion immediately focused on mental health. My father was in prison most of my life, so experiencing that sort of thing forced me to understand mental health conditions on a much deeper level.

My goals for you

I do not provide goals for therapy; you do. You get out of therapy - what you put in. My job here is to help you understand the benefits of the therapeutic process and assist alongside you while you grow and achieve what you set out to achieve. I'm just a helper to assist you throughout your journey.

Our first session

The first session is when we will go over the "important" aspects of therapy: consent, confidentiality, etc., etc., etc. This will be the time you share what brought you to seek therapy in the first place. This will give me a quick snapshot of what's happening in your life right now. This is the time that you can get to know me, as well.
