My communication style

A positive therapeutic experience will only be achieved when there is an environment that fosters trust, empathy, respect, safety, and collaboration. These are the tenets that guide my therapeutic relationships with my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a strong desire to help others, coupled with a deep interest in understanding human behavior. I started volunteering in my 20s, which filled my passion to have a positive impact on people's lives. Pursuing social work was the perfect path to achieving my goals and helping others achieve theirs.

My goals for you

I believe goal setting is best as a collaborative approach. By actively listening to the client's needs and desires, we work together to set specific, measurable, achievable, and time-bound goals tailored to their situation. It is important that the client feels empowered and invested in their own progress.

Our first session

The first session is focused on learning about the client, including what prompted them to seek therapy and what they want to achieve from therapy. I will learn about the client's background and, most importantly, begin to foster an environment of trust and respect.
