My communication style

I feel that it is very important for my clients to feel they are in a safe place where they can open up about anything affecting their lives. The foundation is set by building a positive therapeutic relationship. I am a therapist who listens carefully and provides feedback if invited to do so.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my journey to become a therapist when I turned 30 years old. I had been doing volunteer work as an artist working with underserved communities and I felt that becoming a therapist/art therapist would enrich the work I was doing. I continue to be inspired and motivated by the healing that occurs in the therapeutic process.

My goals for you

I discuss goals with my clients at each session, we explore progress and/or challenges. During therapy, clients may identify new goals which are incorporated into treatment. I feel it is very important for my clients to have a voice when exploring therapeutic goals.

Our first session

Clients are encouraged to ask questions about the therapeutic process and share personal history or background information as we explore how relationships and life experiences affect the current situation. We begin to explore coping strategies at the first session, particularly when addressing symptoms causing distress.
