I believe it is important to be your authentic self as a provider because the therapeutic relationship is exactly that: a relationship. We all bring the wonderful nuances of ourselves into this dynamic, and part of what makes me so passionate about this work is helping others navigate and express their identities.

As human beings we learn, develop meaning, and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by the question - "How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their personal growth?" I strive to create an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change; forming trust and leaning toward vulnerability.
