My communication style

I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will really listen and accept us as we are, without judgment. I provide my clients with that warm, nonjudgmental environment—a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing them from living the life they want. I provide my clients with that warm, and nonjudgmental environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Some of the reasons include altruism, making a difference in people's lives and in society, helping others who have struggled with similar painful issues, being around people who are growing and changing, and participating in a culture that values growth and well-being.

My goals for you

I allow my clients to initiate the goals that are important to them. Together, we plan a road map to obtain these goals.

Our first session

Your first session will probably involve being asked questions about you, how you cope, and your symptoms (it's basically an interview). We may also chat about goals for therapy, expectations, and more.
