My communication style

I am laid back, and I love to help people get to where they want to be. I push just enough, and I am also very empathetic. I build rapport with people easily, and I love what I do.

My journey to mental healthcare

I worked at a state mental hospital, which opened my eyes to the vast array of mental health issues. I got to know the patients and loved hearing their stories. I knew I wanted to help and promote change in the field. I have known since I was a little girl that I wanted to spend my life helping others.

My goals for you

I like to talk about goals from the start and see where the client wants to go. I also revisit the topic with them from time to time, to make sure they are comfortable with the speed at which they are going and if they need to change or update their goals.

Our first session

I always preface my first sessions with clients by letting them know that this session will be unlike the rest, as I am on a mission to ask as many questions as possible. I am trying to get to know the client and also find out where they have been and where they want to go.
