My communication style

With counseling communication. My approach has always been clinically focused, Adjustable, and Friendly. I believe in being respectful and always focusing on what the client would like to address during our collaborative discussions.

My journey to mental healthcare

In 2007, while working in textiles, I had a severe hand injury, which led to the amputation of a couple of digits. At the time, I was working my way through school and discovered that potentially becoming a therapist would be a great place to start with this unique journey. To this day, I have never lost sight of what brought me into practice.

My goals for you

Focusing on what the client would like to see happen as a result of attending counseling is always a great place to start! Sometimes things seem hardest when coming into counseling and therapy, and it is important to always understand, validate, and appreciate where a client would like to begin, work through, and end with counseling goals.

Our first session

I believe in keeping things focused, but at the same time relatable. Establishing a therapeutic alliance and discovering what a client's goals may be during the first session is key in establishing and continuing a successful counseling journey!
