My communication style

I listen carefully to the needs of others. I allow the client to communicate their preferences through each session to ensure they are comfortable throughout treatment. I believe part of the healing process requires the individual to learn about themselves on a deeper level in a nonjudgmental, safe space.

My journey to mental healthcare

Like many others in this field, I became a therapist to help children and their families when they are feeling lost, overwhelmed, and frustrated. I enjoy helping them find their strengths that they may not have known they had. As a therapist, it is very fulfilling when clients feel empowered to make changes.

My goals for you

Sometimes, clients come into treatment not knowing what they are looking to get out of therapy, and that is okay. We will work collaboratively on developing and understanding clear goals that the client would like to fulfill.

Our first session

During the very first session, clients should expect a session that could go a little longer. I make sure to discuss and clarify how therapy works, especially if it is their first time. I will gather as much information as the client is comfortable sharing to be able to collaboratively develop goals.
