My communication style

I approach the process of communication to help match your style, and offer corrections if interpersonal relationships tend to me hard to manage. I go with psycho-dynamic approaches, as well as solution focused. Creating boundaries and recognizing the roles we play in our relationships can help to reframe what our emotional needs are.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist once I realized I had a knack for it. I learned from family members who have mental illness that often outsiders tend to judge mentally, or lack understanding of how symptoms like depression can be chemical. Sometimes we are lacking that bit of serotonin we need, or need to be understood.

My goals for you

I like to think I help you become the expert on your own life. You know yourself better than anyone, and if I can help streamline your goals, that's what I am here for. If you have trouble deciding on your goals, I'll work collaboratively with you to figure out what's best suited for your lifestyle.

Our first session

Openness, honesty, and my love of the field. You will see I love to incorporate psycho-education often to show how the psychology behind the ways we think help us to challenge cognitive distortions, self-esteem or our view of the world.
