My communication style

My communication style is one that aims to be free of judgment and shame. I believe that consideration of one's culture and experiences is important, as it will affect outcomes. Respect is an expectation on both sides. I am easy to talk to and empathetic. I will challenge, support, motivate, and empower you as we work towards lasting wellness.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey is rooted in providing compassionate, evidence-based care to clients. I was ready for change and decided to pursue my favorite specialty in nursing school- psychiatric nursing. It is rewarding to empower adults to be able to heal and meet their goals.

My goals for you

I will guide and support you professionally. I will expect you to be an active participant. We must both be flexible and willing to change plans and goals as the need arises. I will help you to find the drive and ability to self-motivate towards positive outcomes. You are essentially in the driver's seat, and I am here to walk the journey with you.

Our first session

The first visit focuses on your unique journey, story, symptoms, needs, and your goals, which will guide the treatment plan we create together. This is a process and will be tweaked over time. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. I hope you walk away feeling motivated and empowered to work together.
