My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and direct. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves openly, while also providing honest feedback and guidance when needed. I balance empathy with practical insight, ensuring clients feel heard, understood, and equipped.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider was driven by a deep passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges and experience healing and growth. I began my path in psychology, earning my Bachelor’s degree, followed by a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling, and ultimately a Doctorate in Family Studies.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by first gaining a clear understanding of their needs, values, and desired outcomes, and then working collaboratively to create a realistic and personalized plan. I use evidence-based strategies to help clients build practical skills, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier thought and behavior patterns.

Our first session

The first session with me is welcoming, supportive, and focused on getting to know you. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from the process, while also reviewing any relevant background information. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable, as we begin.
