My communication style

My communication style is assertive, ensuring that I respect and value your time, rights, and needs while fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. I am an active listener, fully engaged in understanding your thoughts and emotions. My tone is warm and adaptable, incorporating humor, enthusiasm, respect, and calmness.

My journey to mental healthcare

Working at a group home, I witnessed youth being mistreated verbally by clinicians. Seeing this lack of compassion deeply disappointed me, and I made a personal commitment to pursue a career in counseling. I returned as a clinical therapist, dedicated to treating the youth with dignity and respect.

My goals for you

Success in therapy means helping you feel better about yourself, make positive changes, and grow into the person you aspire to be. Building a foundation of trust with me is key to achieving your therapeutic goals. A strong, supportive connection allows for deeper exploration, meaningful progress, and a more effective healing experience.

Our first session

During your initial session, I'll share a little about myself, ask questions to understand your reasons for seeking counseling, and give you the opportunity to express your concerns. Together, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. I'll recap our discussion and ask if you'd like to schedule follow-up sessions.
