My career involves organizational management, clinical supervision, and extensive experience with completing psychosocial assessments, treatment planning, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. I have proven success with engaging clients by empowering them to make positive changes in their lives. I do not view people as fundamentally flawed. I believe people know themselves better than experts in the helping professions. My approach to therapy is based on guiding my clients to work along with me to resolve their identified issues in treatment. A relationship with a therapist is one of the most intimate bonds a person can have in life. Who do you trust with your most private and vulnerable experiences? This is the reason why I take the time to build trust and rapport with my clients. Building trust is a critical part of achieving success in therapy. I am compassionate with strong communication, and interpersonal skills.

Therapy can be hard. Regardless of what brought you here, know that I am here to listen and assist. You are the driver and we will move at your speed. I will challenge you along the way and encourage you to be flexible. I want you to take yourself seriously and commit to frank conversations. I want you to learn to hold yourself accountable. I want you to learn about self-compassion, self-care and the importance of boundaries within your relationships. Overall, I want a client who wants to make changes. I prefer for my first session with clients to be more casual than formal. I will ask you basic questions to gather some background information about you. These questions will mirror some of the questions on your intake form. The main goal of this session is to get to know each other. You can ask me questions too. You can share as little or as much as you want. I also like to discuss what your goals are for therapy as getting an idea of what your expectations and aspirations are is what drives your therapy sessions.
