My communication style

My communication style is calm, down-to-earth, and very personable. My goal is to make my clients feel as comfortable as possible, to create an environment where anything can be said with no fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always found myself to be a good listener, and people are naturally drawn to open up to me. I love seeing healthy, positive self-change in my clients. For clients to know that we don't have to struggle through life, and that anything is possible to change if we focus and put the energy into it.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is based on what the client views as the most pressing issue at the time. Building trust and rapport, to work together on these goals, and set realistic steps to accomplish what the client wants to change.

Our first session

What you should expect from our first session is to spend the majority of the time speaking about recent feelings and events that have brought you to therapy, and me asking clarifying questions to better understand. Building an initial connection, mostly listening to help get a sense of what will work best for you.
