My communication style

My communication style is casual, easygoing, and conversational, helping clients feel comfortable and at ease. I create a supportive environment grounded in compassion and empathy, fostering open and honest dialogue. I use open-ended questions to guide exploration and actively encourage feedback throughout the therapeutic journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for social justice inspired me to pursue social work, allowing me to connect directly with people and support them in meaningful ways. I truly love this work, as it gives me the privilege of witnessing my clients' growth, progress, and healing. Being part of their journey is deeply fulfilling.

My goals for you

At the start of therapy, I prioritize goal setting to gain a clear understanding of each client's needs and hopes for treatment. We collaborate to establish specific, achievable goals. Throughout our work together, I revisit these goals to ensure we stay aligned and adapt our approach as needed.

Our first session

I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, so in our first session, I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing openly. I explore your reasons for seeking therapy and gather background information while listening attentively, validating your experiences, and offering consistent support.
