My communication style

My communication style is person-centered with unconditional positive regard for all clients. I want to hear your story, though I may stop you to challenge specific beliefs or understand your thought process. I want to know you and help you feel better and identify your emotions for better communication.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was inspired to be a therapist after some exploration of what I did well without having to work very hard at it, and I realized I wanted to help people with their issues. Also, my own struggles and my own experience as a therapist, along with my interest in Psychology, prompted me to become a therapist.

My goals for you

Goal setting is an important avenue to success. My approach is setting up SMART goals with clients because SMART Goals do a good job of making goals achievable and documenting what the goals are, how they'll be measured, and by when. Goals will be more effective when tied to behaviors rather than outcomes. Goals are based on what, why, and when.

Our first session

In a first session, expect discussion about symptoms and what brought you to therapy. I'll ask about your personal history, including childhood, education, relationships, living situation, and career. There will be opportunity to be open and honest and ask questions.
