My communication style

I'm straightforward and conversational. I'll ask direct questions and offer observations, and we will work together to figure things out. Clients tell me sessions feel like talking with someone who genuinely gets it, but will also gently challenge when needed.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been drawn to understanding what makes people tick. After my own therapeutic experience, I realized how transformative it is to have someone really listen and help you make sense of things. I experienced firsthand how therapy changed my life during a difficult time. It made me want to offer that same kind of support to others.

My goals for you

A client needs to have buy-in about what they want to achieve in therapy. In our first session, I asked the client to name a goal that they wish to achieve as a result of attending therapy. Once they have focused on that goal, I ask them what behaviors or coping skills they have used in the past, and whether those tools were effective.

Our first session

In our first session, I asked the client to tell me their story and why they are seeking help at this time, whether they have had therapy in the past, and if it has been helpful. It is rather free-flowing. I want to make the most of that short time together. I also ask the client during that time to assess me and whether they think it is a fit.
