My communication style

I am very easy-going and tend to approach therapy sessions in a more unstructured manner. The most important part of any work that I do with you will be building rapport, developing trust, and making you feel as comfortable and respected as possible. I have been told I am very down-to-earth and easy to talk to.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always wanted to help others and have significant lived experience in many of the areas I provide services for. I feel this brings a unique perspective to my practice, and there are not many people I can't connect with on some level. I learn from every person I work with and take that experience with me to help others.

My goals for you

I do like to use the S.M.A.R.T. goal model to ensure that we are focusing on the things you need and getting the most out of your sessions. Therapy goals will be established in the first 1-2 sessions and adjusted as you move towards achieving them.

Our first session

The first sessions will usually involve ice-breakers, goal-setting, and relevant history and background. I will want to know your prior experience with therapy and any reservations or concerns you may have to share. Therapy can be intimidating, especially on your first time, and taking that first step can be daunting.
