My communication style

Usually, my clients experience an inviting and accepting environment. It is important to me for my client to be at ease and comfortable in sharing their stories with me. I like to create a space with my client, where they can envision curling up in a chair and can ease into expressing their situation.

My journey to mental healthcare

I realized I had a helping nature and wanted to pursue professions working directly with others. When someone trusts me with their vulnerabilities, it is one of the most humbling experiences. Effective counseling is built on trust, and I am always grateful for these moments.

My goals for you

Most often, in the first session, I will ask my clients how I can help them and what they would like to see occur in the counseling process.

Our first session

Initially, clients should expect some amount of general conversation, followed by gentle questions as to how I may help them. I like for the client to get to know me, somewhat, and for me to know them a bit more. The first session often allows for the beginnings of a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship.
