My communication style

I think communication is another one of my specialties because it is easy to fall victim to games in conversations. Transactional analysis helps aid us in our way to remember our boundaries, as well as leaning out of the game so that someone's mental health can remain balanced.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was an active duty Army individual who found at one point that the medical field didn't speak to me the way mental health did, and that helped me get my master's in psychology. It also encouraged me to continue my education in areas that I am passionate about, such as trauma, addiction, and communication.

My goals for you

Through an effective treatment plan guided by the client, the therapist and client can work as a team to accomplish the objectives set in their own plan. The client plays a pivotal role in defining their own goals, and it is important that these goals be built around the SMART goal system.

Our first session

I like the introductions to be made, and a sense of rapport can be established. It is also important to understand what major areas the client would like to work on. I like the client to know who I am as well, so that they feel like the therapist/client relationship works and they are not just working with a random stranger.

I identify as...
