My communication style

My communication style is direct, engaged, and collaborative. I aim to create a focused and supportive environment where we can identify goals, explore challenges, and work toward change. I ask clear, purposeful questions and offer honest feedback, all while maintaining a supportive and respectful tone that encourages open dialogue and progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a counselor began early in life, shaped by witnessing the impact of deinstitutionalization in the 1980s. I was drawn to the field out of a desire to provide compassionate, effective support to those often overlooked or underserved. I began my career working with individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness.

My goals for you

I help clients set and reach treatment goals by creating a supportive, collaborative space where we can clearly define what matters most to them. Together, we identify specific, achievable goals and develop practical strategies to address the concerns at hand—whether related to mental health, substance use, or relationship dynamics.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and begin building a strong working relationship. We'll review your expectations for treatment, explore your values and goals, and identify the best approach to support your needs. This session also helps determine what therapeutic style and techniques are the right fit for you.
