My communication style

I like to create a comfortable and casual environment for my clients and will meet you where you're at. I know that therapy can be uncomfortable, so we move at whatever pace is best for you. Furthermore, if a more lighthearted environment and session makes you feel more trusting, then that is how we will meet each week.

My journey to mental healthcare

I first became interested in mental health when I took both a psychology class and a sociology class and worked with a local homeless shelter. I got the opportunity to take higher level courses which really opened my eyes and made me realize my passion for helping others.

My goals for you

To approach goal setting and treatment planning with clients, we discuss in depth what the goals are, and also where we want to be in the short and long term. We then discuss realistic goals and decide together how to achieve this.

Our first session

In a first session, I conduct an intake session. This includes the intake interview, so this includes more in-depth questions to help me get a better idea of what the client is seeking therapy for at this time, and also to help build rapport and ensure a good fit between us.
