My communication style

My goal is to build trust, establish realistic goals together, and help clients develop coping skills. These strategies will support meaningful change. I also recognize the importance of maintaining professional boundaries, which supports growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider has been long and arduous, and I'm grateful for the experience. I became a provider because so many challenging populations need help, and there aren't enough educated professionals to meet the need. For me, the more challenging the case, the more curious I become

My goals for you

I collaborate with clients because it promotes autonomy and independence, so they can learn to advocate more on their own.

Our first session

I would make sure the patient clearly understands what to expect from our work together. I would explain my role as the therapist, discuss confidentiality and its limits, and allow the patient to share what brought them to therapy and what they hope to accomplish. I would use active listening and open-ended questions to understand them better.
