My communication style

It is essential that you feel safe enough to say things you may have never told anyone else. I am as invested in your mental health goals as you are and regularly check in to ensure you are getting what you need. I am transparent in my approach and ensure your full consent before teaching any skill or providing guidance.

My journey to mental healthcare

Guiding people through difficult life issues felt like a calling from an early age. I discovered the importance of creating a safe space where people feel relief and understanding, helping them gain control in their lives. Being part of someone's journey to fulfillment is an honor and a privilege.

My goals for you

I use a collaborative approach where your full engagement in goal setting is essential. If you are struggling to articulate your goals, I help shape them into something both doable and likely to achieve the desired outcome.

Our first session

My initial sessions are conversational. I actively listen to your reasons for coming into treatment and ask questions to get the details I need. You are in charge of what we work on, and my role is to use my expertise to get you there. At the end, I provide a summary of my observations and recommendations.
