My communication style

I believe we thrive in a calm, peaceful environment. Therefore, I work to create an environment that is calm and peaceful for each client. One way I create a feeling of calm is by using guided imagery to take an anxious client to their 'calm, peaceful space.'

My journey to mental healthcare

As a pre-teen, I struggled with anxiety and anger after my parents divorced. I was connected to an amazing therapist who made a positive impression on my life. He helped me navigate through the anger I felt without judgment. He helped me learn healthy ways to express my feelings.

My goals for you

During our session, I will take notes on key points or goals. I will return back to these points to collaborate with you. You are in charge of setting your goals. As the therapist, I am there for support and guidance.

Our first session

I focus on laying the foundation to build a strong therapeutic relationship. It is important to develop trust and mutual respect during the first few sessions. I use motivational interviewing to begin our session and to gather important information for goal setting. We will work to develop a positive coping skill to support you through this event.
