My communication style

I want you to feel comfortable talking with me about your struggles. I provide empathy and exploratory questions to develop a shared understanding of what you're experiencing and what you hope to achieve in therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a psychologist because I've always wanted to help people. I was a natural listener, and through training I learned to help people navigate significant challenges. I have a wonderful job that allows me to help people become a better version of themselves.

My goals for you

After the first session, a shared understanding of what has led to their challenges can be developed. The client & I determine a goal, and I use evidence-based interventions that have a strong likelihood of alleviating the client's distress. As sessions continue, we evaluate the progress & determine if changes to the treatment plan need to be made.

Our first session

The first session is called an evaluation. We discuss what brought the person to therapy and review the life events that have contributed to their challenges as well as their strengths. As a trauma-informed psychologist, the client will never have to self-disclose distressing moments in their life until they are ready.
