My communication style

My communication style is informal, direct, but warm, and free from judgment. My goal is to create a calming space where my clients feel free to talk to me about anything without the fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a clinical social worker because I have always enjoyed helping people improve and become their best selves. I was impressed by the holistic approach that social workers have, and was always drawn to the connection that systems and environments have in impacting overall well-being.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients involves a collaborative and client-centered approach. This involves establishing a supportive and trusting relationship while identifying what therapy means for the client. We then assess needs, clarify values and priorities, and set specific goals.

Our first session

During our first session, we will discuss your needs and how my therapeutic approach can support you. We will conduct a detailed assessment of your needs, set therapy goals, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual situation. You can expect this to be a time of building an initial connection and defining how we will work together.
