My communication style

I have found that the most effective therapeutic approach involves active listening, feedback, and supportive guidance. I engage in assisting clients to tap into their inner strength and available resources to work through their life challenges professionally and respectfully.

My journey to mental healthcare

My initial desire to become a therapist began as peers would seek my advice and support to help them through their life challenges. I developed an increased interest in the relationship between athletic achievement and mental health. I find continued motivation in my clients' success towards accomplishing their goals.

My goals for you

I believe that clients possess the necessary skills to overcome their mental health challenges, although at times they need the assistance of a professional to tap into their potential. As we work together, we can identify coping skills, emotional regulation, and behavioral interventions to create organic methods towards progress.

Our first session

Our initial session will provide an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We will discuss any background history you feel comfortable with that is relevant to your therapeutic needs. We may also begin to develop a plan of treatment based on your immediate needs. Keeping an open, honest, and non-judgmental approach will help us build trust.
