My communication style

I provide communication that is open in nature and comes from a non-judgmental stance. I welcome any feedback to provide clarification or clear up any misunderstandings.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to therapy came from being in a time where you didn't talk about mental health; you just 'got over it.' This was detrimental to me in my teenage years. I want to provide that space for others to work through their concerns and want my clients to know that someone is on their side.

My goals for you

I believe for therapy to work, there needs to be a mutual understanding between therapist and client on what is being achieved. I would like to know what your long-term goal is; imagine knowing that therapy is no longer needed. What does that look like? We will then break this long-term goal into short-term goals and build from there.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to learn a little about each other. I gain a broad overview of what is bringing you to therapy and what your goals are. This is mainly completed through obtaining a history. We will then craft general goals. I also open up the session to questions you may have about me from a professional stance.
