My communication style

My initial goals in therapy are to provide a sense of safety, care, and a free environment. Clients express feeling understood and accepted. They leave my office with a sense of relief and hope.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion is to make this world a better place than when I came in. I want to help bring Emotional Intelligence to everyone's vocabulary. I strongly believe that if people learn to regulate their emotions, which is one of the first tasks of a newborn, this world would be a better place.

My goals for you

I first give them the time that they need to feel heard. People come to me with their story that they want me to hear and be a witness to. And my role is to respectfully give them that platform. From their story, I then help them identify what they want to keep in their narrative and what they want as their goal to transform.

Our first session

They can expect that I am present to what they are ready to share with me. I do explain the consent information fully, but as important, I pay attention to their words and body language that informs me about their openness and their boundaries. I assess their state of mind and their strengths to guide my initial interventions.

I identify as...
