My communication style

My communication style is clear, supportive, and tailored to your needs. I am straightforward yet kind, I am respectful and patient, and I adjust based on your experience with mental health treatment and your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

Personal experiences and growing awareness of the urgent need for compassionate, evidence-based mental health care have profoundly shaped my journey. Early in my nursing career, I worked in an emergency department, where I witnessed how often mental health conditions are underdiagnosed, misunderstood, or treated without adequate time and resources.

My goals for you

I build rapport and establish trust with my patients before setting goals. I ensure that their goals are specific, measurable, achievable, and relevant, and we put a timeframe to achieve them. Goals are created with the patient, not for the patient. We will address barriers and plan for setbacks. We will regularly review and adjust the goals.

Our first session

During our first session, I will greet you with a warm introduction and do a comprehensive assessment, including obtaining your mental, medical, substance use, and social history. I will also ask you questions about your family's mental health history, social support, cultural background, and if you've experienced any traumas.
