My communication style

I let you set the tone and communications as you tell your story, and I will try to help you add awareness, emotional dignity, healing thoughts, and possible behavioral changes you can be comfortable with. In family therapy, we look at the dynamics between each other and how tweaking that can give dignity and hope to each other.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a small child, I was very sick and left with disabilities to overcome. I had to relearn how to understand speech, use emotions as a guide, organize my world through thoughts, and act to get support from my family. My grandmother gave me extra love, my brother protected me, and my dad told me I could do anything. I want to extend that to others.

My goals for you

When you're aware of your healthy outlook, good emotional abilities, flexible thoughts, and know your strengths, limitations, and possible reactions, you can pick and choose what you want to do in your unique situations. In family therapy, the same applies through changing dynamics to allow more flexible solutions.

Our first session

I'll ask what brings you in. As you describe your situations and reactions, we'll identify your emotional needs, thoughts, and behavioral patterns so you can see and choose what to change. We can discuss how to do that. In family therapy, we'll examine each person's desires and reactions and the dynamics between everyone.

I identify as...

• Caucasian or White
