My communication style

I am very open and transparent in my therapy style. As a client-centered therapist, I use a non-directive form of talk therapy that allows you to lead the conversation and does not attempt to steer you in any way.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been attracted to helping people learn to live their best life as defined by them. I love to see clients uncover the barriers and arrive at solutions to overcome these barriers to achieve the life they want.

My goals for you

I approach clients with Unconditional Positive Regard: unconditional positive regard is an important practice for the client-centered therapist. The therapist needs to accept the client for who they are and provide support and care, no matter what they are going through. I utilize Genuineness.

Our first session

The first session is a relaxed and no-stress opportunity for us to get to know each other more than anything. In this "get to know each other" session, the client is able to share what brings them to therapy and what they want to work on together with the therapist.
