My communication style

My ability to be an effective and helpful therapist occurs when the client and therapist can create a mutually agreed-upon support plan. This will only be fostered if we are able to communicate openly with each other. Therapy is not an event, it's a process developed through sharing ideas, concerns, and needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

Mentoring from a mother who developed social support systems in a small community for people in need of food, shelter, clothing, as well as after-school activities for at-risk children.

My goals for you

Assisting others is a collaboration between the therapist and the client. That fosters a mutual understanding of what specific support would work best for the reduction of symptoms and behaviors negatively impacting the client's ability to function in a healthier way on a day-to-day basis.

Our first session

The first session will be a time to develop comfort and safety for the person seeking support. I want this session to be an opportunity to ask questions, express anxieties, hopes, and desires around attending ongoing therapy.
