My communication style

My communication style is open, accommodating, and personable. It's important that you feel comfortable talking with me about anything. I listen without judgment and create a space where you can be yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to help others. Coming from an environment where people didn't seek help or talk about their feelings, I find value in creating a safe space for you to share what you're struggling with. I take pride in helping people through difficult times.

My goals for you

During our first few sessions, we'll create goals you'd like to accomplish. We must get to know each other first so you feel open to trusting me. I refer back to these goals frequently to track progress. They're not set in stone and can change, but they provide a framework to structure our sessions.

Our first session

During our first session, the most important thing is to get to know each other and provide a safe environment. Starting therapy can be difficult, and I want you to feel comfortable sharing what you've been feeling. Therapy should be collaborative, and the first session helps identify how you want therapy to look for you.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
