My communication style

I use an assertive communication style as well as cultivate an atmosphere of trust. That way, clients are secure with sharing their needs, wants, feelings, and rights without judgment. In addition, clients are fully aware that confidentiality is stellar, and they are in a safe place to learn, grow, and change for the better.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love people and have a special place in my heart for their concerns. I focused primarily on student behaviors. This led me to obtain a school guidance counseling degree and, later, to transition out of the school system into the therapy field.

My goals for you

Clients are given homework to brainstorm and compile a list of their problem areas, coupled with what they would like to achieve. They are at liberty to choose from a common list of goals that are germane to the symptoms they are experiencing. We will then determine together which goals are primary to incorporate into a treatment plan.

Our first session

The initial session is to gather information to gain a better understanding of client symptoms and introduce the first steps toward self-care. The follow-up session comprised of the client and I compiling a treatment plan of goals.
