My communication style

My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and empathetic environment using a non-judgmental and direct approach. I am a firm believer in being both transparent and compassionate. I have always believed the client to be the expert, and my collaborative approach helps to empower clients to do what they need to do.

My journey to mental healthcare

As I approached adulthood, I had the privilege of helping a friend through a difficult relationship. This experience demonstrated the power that comes with lending a listening ear, providing tools, and supporting someone without judgment. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to do this each and every day as a therapist.

My goals for you

As mentioned, the client is the expert, so I approach goal setting by meeting clients where they are at.

Our first session

Clients can expect the first session to focus on the experiences and perspectives that have shaped their lives and led to this point in time. This session is also used to build rapport and determine if the client is comfortable proceeding with the therapeutic relationship.
