My journey to mental healthcare

Since 2003, I have worked in the field of mental health in some capacity. I am motivated by the desire to help and support others, which is something that was instilled in me from a very young age. I was raised by parents that taught me the value of being of service to others, so it was only natural for me to find myself in a career that is aligned with this value. There are many professions that would have allowed me to help people, but helping others through therapy provides a more unique and satisfying way to affect people in a positive way. Witnessing the growth that clients make is what I love most about my work. I truly enjoy supporting, motivating, and empowering others to achieve their personal goals through therapy.

My goals for you

Identifying goals for therapy is essential. Goal setting is a collaborative effort at the same time it's an opportunity for clients to gain a sense of ownership over the therapy process. Therapy goals provide direction and give us variables to measure client's progress.

My first session with you

It is my goal to create an environment where clients feel supported and empowered to achieve their personal goals.
