My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a therapist was driven by a deep-rooted passion for assisting others. From a young age, I felt an innate calling to support people during their most challenging moments. Witnessing individuals evolve into their truest and most empowered selves has always been a source of genuine fulfillment for me.
My goals for you
My approach to goal-setting in therapy centers around collaborative exploration of what you aim to achieve during our sessions. It begins with establishing trust and fostering a sense of ease in the therapeutic process. As we continue, we will work closely together to define clear goals and diligently monitor your progress over time. Your journey towards personal growth and well-being is our shared commitment.
My first session with you
During our initial session together, you can anticipate a focused discussion on your recent emotions and experiences. I'll ask questions to gain insight into the factors contributing to your current feelings. This first session is all about establishing an initial connection and enabling me to gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique needs. I believe in tailoring our approach to your individuality, which is why I prioritize listening and learning before determining the most effective path forward. Your well-being is at the forefront of our journey together.
