My communication style

My goal is to create a peaceful, non-judgmental environment. The tone is one of acceptance and inclusiveness. My hope is that working with me makes you feel comfortable and validated. I listen attentively so that I can gain an understanding about what you are saying and what you need.

My journey to mental healthcare

I first realized the transformative power of the therapeutic process as an adult. I saw my first therapist and could not believe the healing power it could have on an individual. I was able to address core issues, deal with relationships, learn new coping skills, and define my life in ways I never thought possible.

My goals for you

I believe goal setting is a collaborative effort that takes time and patience. I want you to feel empowered by the choices you make while knowing I am available for input and advice. You are the expert in your own life. My role is to facilitate the therapeutic process.

Our first session

I consider the first session as the beginning of our journey. During our first session together, I will ask a series of questions so I can gain as much understanding of who you are, what you expect, what you want to accomplish, and how we are going to get there.
