My communication style

I am down-to-earth and transparent. My clients find me to be genuine, practical, and relatable. I aspire to create a comfortable setting to enable the clients to feel safe in sharing themselves.

My journey to mental healthcare

I sought therapy for myself after a divorce. After various therapists, I found a good counselor and a great women's group that enabled me to see why I ended up in difficult relationships with men. Through this process, I realized I would like to do this work.

My goals for you

Initially, I inquire and notate the client's initial interest in counseling. As we move through various techniques periodically, I bring up their initial need and how the current process is connecting to their original concern and current life issues.

Our first session

In their first session, I go over a detailed history of the client's current life situation as well as their past. I collect information regarding their current living situation, asking about marriage or not, children or not, and siblings, including names and ages. I try to give the client an idea of how we will work together.
