It’s important to me, as a human and therapist, that you are understood. One of the first things counselors learn is to fully engage with clients through deep listening. My goal is to meet you with compassion and curiosity in order to tackle life’s challenges with unconditional positive regard. Without a baseline of curious, active listening, there’s no space to build an invaluable therapeutic relationship, where the best healing & growth takes place. Once there we will set goals, uncover patterns and values, identify how you make meaning, and - by the end of our time together - have you closer to who you want to be.
At the center of our work together is you, the client, and the belief that we all have a unique capacity to heal. We’ll work collaboratively to ensure sessions are engaging and you’re empowered by the direction we're heading. I hope that our time together creates a hopeful, safe, and challenging space, where there can be vulnerability, humor, and connection.
Everyone comes to therapy with their own unique story. As such I believe there’s no right way to 'do' therapy, instead it should always be adapted to your needs and wants. I invite clients to approach the process with openness and curiosity. Each session will look a little different from the last as we discuss your most pressing issues & help you grow.
