My communication style

I create a welcoming and nonjudgmental space for you to express yourself fully. I am gentle, compassionate, and attuned to your unique needs. Clients find my communication style warm, empathetic, and supportive.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was inspired to become a mental healthcare provider because of my desire to address the rising mental health concerns I observed in my community. I wanted to be part of the solution by providing care and support towards healing and resilience. I developed an interest in understanding the tools for healing.

My goals for you

I always work with patients to develop easily attainable goals aligned with their unique treatment needs. The goals are broken down into manageable steps, ideally to motivate them and build confidence upon progressing into the next stage of the healing journey. We periodically assess patient progress to ensure the interventions remain effective.

Our first session

In our first session, I will ensure we get to know one another to build a collaborative relationship based on respect and trust. During this time, I will briefly explain how therapy works. Afterwards, I will actively listen to the patient’s story and what they want to achieve in therapy. I will take notes about the patient’s background and goals.
