My communication style
I am empathetic and supportive. I practice active listening with a non-judgmental approach. I use clear and concise collaborative communication with the goal of empowering individuals to gain authorship if their lives.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became a therapist because I have always been deeply interested in understanding people and helping them navigate their inner worlds. From a young age, I was drawn to conversations about feelings, motivations and personal growth. I found myself naturally inclined to listen and provide support to friends and family during their challenging times and it was through these experiences that I realized how fulfilling it was to make a positive impact on someone's life.
My goals for you
Goals are client-centered and rooted in the client's own values, desires and life circumstances. Goal setting is a collaborative process with an emphasis on the clients aspirations and challenges.
My first session with you
I offer a warm welcoming environment which will allow time to explore past and current issues. I will explain the therapeutic process and answer any questions regarding my role as a therapist, and the client's role. We discuss the frequency of visits and set clear expectations to demystify the process.
