My communication style

My communication style is genuine, jovial, accommodating, and non-judgmental. I enjoy assisting clients with developing insight through discussing topics that appear difficult in nature.

My journey to mental healthcare

I knew I would eventually become a therapist during my undergraduate years. I have always been an advocate within my community. I believe helping relations is a life calling because it comes naturally to me, and people tend to gravitate toward me. I have a desire to work with and in demographics that are underdeveloped.

My goals for you

I believe goal setting begins and ends with rapport building. I utilize rapport building to learn more about the client’s strengths and weaknesses/barriers. Helping the client develop insights into strengths and weaknesses, validating, and creating treatment plan goals that are measurable and align with the client's values.

Our first session

The process of establishing rapport begins during the initial session. I work diligently to alleviate any concerns about treatment. The client is afforded education and allowed ample time and opportunities to ask questions to ensure the therapeutic relationship is a good fit.
