My communication style

I want my clients to feel comfortable with me. I don't believe counseling has to be all serious. As we learn to pair negative moments with positive ones, I utilize humor, jokes, and lived experiences. There are times when I have to be direct with clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

It was a long cherished dream since my young age to be a counselor because I was inspired by the counselors who led our prayer group. While working as a mental health nurse, I always wanted to do more than just nursing care. Counseling was the only career where I could do that.

My goals for you

I include the client in setting their goals. Sometimes, clients are aware of what they want to work on, and other times, they need assistance.

Our first session

Clients can expect a warm atmosphere with positive regard. They will be listened to and included in all decision-making. At the end of the intake, they will be assisted in creating a care plan aiming towards the goals they want to reach and set their schedule.
