My communication style

I believe in a collaborative approach based on client strengths and resiliency. The therapeutic process is constructed to develop effective coping techniques and strategies for the stressors of today's crisis. This framework supports the clients in learning how to create a coping and skills toolbox to meet life's challenges today and in the future.

My journey to mental healthcare

I find being a therapist very rewarding. The work of being a clinical guide to an individual as they address difficulties in their life is an honor. I take that honor very seriously and offer my experience, skill, and passion to help the client reach their goals.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting deferring to the client's expertise on their own life. I will always empower a client to set goals with my clinical guidance.

Our first session

I will guide the client through the first session with prompts about previous therapy experience, client strengths, client history, and most importantly client questions about the therapy process and my practice.
