My communication style

I believe therapy should involve communication that is empowering, compassionate, and transparent. I value mindful communication with respect, clarity, active listening, empathy, and assertiveness to challenge you to take your next step toward healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began at an early age as a mentor to my peers and through community volunteer experience. I have seen that people have the ability to thrive, heal, and change during life challenges in very difficult environments. I am honored to be a support to others and to be part of my clients' journeys.

My goals for you

My clients take an active role in identifying their treatment needs. I believe that in the process of change and optimum health, your autonomy empowers action. I work with each client to prioritize treatment goals and collaboratively review progress, barriers, coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change.

Our first session

During the first contact, I identify reasons for seeking therapy and explore your struggles, barriers, and readiness for change. This includes discussing background information to understand factors influencing your life and problem areas. Lastly, I engage you in discussing your goals and what you hope to gain from therapy.
