My communication style

I use both verbal and nonverbal communication styles. I pay attention to what you are saying and how your facial expressions and body language are projecting. My goal for our communication style is to help you express your thoughts, share information, and connect with people in your life. I am soft-spoken and gentle in my therapy style.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been curious about psychology. I wanted to understand some of my family members who struggled with drug addictions and mental health conditions. I earned a degree in the field during the time I was raising my four young children. When the kids were older, I earned an advanced degree and started working in the field.

My goals for you

Together, we will develop a treatment plan that has your goals listed. I will help you stay on track to meet your goals. If you want to talk about another topic during a session, we will. I am there for you. I will listen to you, engage honestly, and tell you the things you need to hear. I also assign homework to ensure we're not just talking.

Our first session

Expect me to listen to you and ask non-intrusive questions so that I can understand your needs. My goal is that you always feel better after our sessions.
