My communication style

My goal is to provide a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment that allows clients the ability to express themselves freely.

My journey to mental healthcare

While in college, I majored in Elementary Education for three years before Social Work found me. After an enlightening internship in an elementary school, I went to my advisor. I panicked because I realized that teaching wasn't what I actually wanted to do with my life. I explained, and he registered me for my first social work class.

My goals for you

Clients have an active involvement in establishing, assessing, and reviewing their treatment goals. My role as the therapist is to assist the client with identifying goals, tasks, barriers, etc to accomplishing those goals.

Our first session

The client can expect us to initially review consents and therapy expectations and begin the intake. The intake is for the therapist to collect information such as current symptoms, current stressors, and mental health history. The intake process is also a time for the therapist and client to begin building a rapport.
