My communication style

The environment I strive to create feels safe to the client. Which is not a cookie-cutter approach. My tone is established by the current state of client distress and their emotional status. My goal is for every client to be seen and heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked in the service industry all my life. I realized I knew how to teach others hard concepts and encourage them to not give up. As I learned to work with families, I realized adults needed this same style of teaching and encouraging with accountability. I am driven to do this work because of the continued client success stories.

My goals for you

To set goals with a client, a few simple questions are asked. We look at the three main areas of human functioning. Individual, relational, social, work/school. Together, we assess the strengths and needs of the client.

Our first session

Clients should expect that during the first session, HIPAA and confidentiality provisions and limitations will be addressed. The length of each session. The administrative protocols for scheduling. A brief history will be completed, and the first goal - safety and rapport building will be introduced.
