My communication style

I've been told that my communication style is assertive, warm-toned, and that I engage in active listening, as I want to ensure that you are aware that you are heard and that you're important. I like to ask questions and provide feedback, based on what you're sharing with me, which may further assist you with developing a healthy introspection.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to be a therapist because I understand the importance of having a safe, confidential, and healthy space to be able to express feelings, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I wanted to be a voice for the voiceless.

My goals for you

Based on the information that you share with me at the start of treatment, I will assist you with identifying the areas that you would like to begin working on, and we will develop treatment goals to address those areas.

Our first session

During the first session, you should expect me to review with you all the fun therapist/client logistical information. I will then ask questions to begin to understand what led you to seek therapy, and I will answer any questions that you may have, as this first session is the first step in our rapport-building process.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
