My communication style

It's crucial for clients to feel safe expressing their authentic selves. I foster a non-judgmental therapeutic space and practice cultural humility by honoring the cultural values, beliefs, and experiences clients bring. I practice active listening to ensure thoughts, feelings, and experiences are thoroughly understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

From an early age, I observed the impact that severe mental illness, substance use disorder, and sexual trauma had on my loved ones, as well as the prevalence of misinformation, shame, and lack of reliable resources. I concluded that a career in mental health would be the most meaningful and fulfilling path for me.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting with a balance of structure and flexibility. Client goals work best when developed collaboratively rather than dictated. Every treatment goal prioritizes your safety, strengths, needs, and values. I often start with short-term goals as we explore the personal values and needs that shape long-term goals.

Our first session

During your first session, you can expect to spend most of your time exploring the reasons that brought you to therapy and how you've been managing. We'll look into what you hope to achieve during treatment and address any concerns you may have. Discussing the limits of confidentiality, safety, and mandated reporting is essential.
