About
During our first session, we will spend time getting to know your desired outcomes for seeking out therapy. I will gather information about your history, family makeup, past treatment, if any and further explore what is bringing you to therapy at this time. I will discuss treatment options in an effort for you to make an informed decision on what works best for you based on my recommendation. If agreed we will set a return appointment to begin goal setting and therapy. I also like to assign practice skills in between sessions to discuss at each follow-up visit. I had the fortunate opportunity to be mentored by a relative who was an excellent child therapist. Being an observer of her career motivated me to pursue a Bachelor's in Social Work followed by a Master's Degree also in Social Work with an emphasis on Mental Health Services. I am very passionate about the work I do and find it rewarding to be a part of someo I think it is valuable to be a good listener. My communication style consists of reflecting on what is said in therapy sessions to help clients listen to their own voices. I believe in validating feelings and normalized experiences. I am also honest and direct and welcome feedback on communication preferences that work best for you.
