My communication style

My communication style is collaborative and empathetic. Respect and trust are key and can take time to build. It's important we both work to have clear communication, so I encourage you to ask questions. If you are unhappy with something, I strongly encourage you to talk to me so we can come up with a plan.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a counselor was not my first plan, but following a significant life change, my career choice needed to shift. As someone who has benefited greatly from the support of others, becoming a counselor just fit and is a great way to give back.

My goals for you

At the first session, an assessment will occur so I can better understand you and your situation. Goals are developed from the assessment and depend on what you want. Objectives are the steps aimed at achieving each goal and may include homework between sessions. Goals can be changed or discontinued after discussion between us.

Our first session

There is a lot that happens in the first session. It is a time to meet each other, ask and answer questions, and then complete the assessment. Certainly, more information will be revealed as time goes on, but much is based on the assessment, including the treatment plan, diagnosis, and recommendations, so it's important we do a good job.
