My communication style

Our sessions will always begin with a warm check-in, with a brief review of your recent mood, your assigned homework progress, and an agreement on the agenda topics for our day. We'll establish short and long-term goals for our therapy and assess progress along the way. There is always time for discussion and feedback in session.

My journey to mental healthcare

I took AP Psychology in high school and my mentor encouraged me to pursue higher education. I always enjoyed learning about the brain and our complex physiological body processes. I am also a natural helper, I'm genuinely empathetic and will always find myself with a helping hand for others, and therapy has been so satisfying to improve others.

My goals for you

There are several different ways to reach your goals, more importantly it's understanding each individuals' preferences and motivations that can be managed to meet the goal. In other words, some individuals would benefit from strengths-based rewards, others with negative reinforcement, learning what works for you will be a goal in and of itself.

Our first session

We can go at whatever pace you feel comfortable, our first session will review informed consent and answer any questions you might have about administrative or legal policies. We'll also answer any questions you might have about me as a provider, or our expected treatment style. Then start our assessment questions, to know you better and set goals.
