My communication style

I believe that clients are experts in their own experiences. We need to effectively listen to meet clients where they are. Therapy is a safe space to share feelings and experiences, explore challenges, learn new coping skills, and try new communication techniques to change behavior. And improve interpersonal relationships.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to social work when a caring social worker helped me as a young single mother with limited support. That experience inspired me to help others improve their lives despite difficult circumstances. The power of positive change is a remarkable reminder of our unique human experience.

My goals for you

Setting goals is an important step in therapy. I use client-centered SMART goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. These goals provide structure and guide your journey of recovery through achievement, personal fulfillment, and positive change.

Our first session

We'll get to know each other and build a positive connection in a trusting safe space. We'll explore what brought you to therapy, discuss your strengths and challenges, and develop goals for creating positive change. Be prepared to honor yourself for taking this step and be open to feedback.
