My communication style

The therapeutic relationship is extremely important to me, so I create a safe and welcoming environment. I have been told that working with me is like working with a close friend. I am not going to tell you what you want to hear but rather what you need to hear to get you where you want to be.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been the person that everyone would come to with their problems. I honestly enjoyed listening to them and helping them out if I could. Once I began counseling, it was so rewarding to see how happy clients were to make even small continuous progress toward their goals.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a team effort between us. In our initial session, I always ask what goals you want to achieve through counseling. Once I have this, I tell you what I believe some good goals are, and then we discuss them to come up with the goals for our treatment plan.

Our first session

Our first session is focused on us getting to know one another as it is the beginning of the therapeutic relationship. We will talk about what brings you to therapy and gather much of your history. I try never to let you leave the first session without having learned some skills to help you begin making progress.
