My communication style

I believe in treating everyone with respect, empathy, and compassion. It is important to me that therapy is tailored for each individual and that you are able to have a say in your own treatment planning. It takes courage to make changes in your life, and I am here to support and empower you in your journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always known that I was destined to be in the helping field. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Prior to going to graduate school, I worked in the field of behavioral analysis. I decided to go to graduate school to learn more about mental health and human behavior. I went to the University of Southern California and obtained my Masters

My goals for you

I am here to follow the client's lead. I do follow SMART goals to ensure the client is setting themselves up for success.

Our first session

The first session is typically information gathering. I will let the client know some general information about therapy, what can be expected, and some basic guidelines. After that, I will ask the client to tell me their story and what led to the specific issues today. I never force a topic the client is not ready to discuss just yet.
