My clinical approach fits best with clients who want to better understand how their psychological symptoms are linked to experiences they have had in their past. By building a therapeutic space that honors the impact of these lived experiences on their minds and bodies, I help clients rewrite the narratives of their lives and have more compassion for their many parts of themselves. I also understand the impact ancient wisdom and spiritual practice can have on mental health and work with individuals of all faith traditions to incorporate this into their therapeutic journey as appropriate.
My guiding question when working with clients experiencing psychological distress is, “what happened to you?" rather than "what's wrong with you?" Through collaboration, clients grow into the version of themselves they hope to be, develop coping skills to manage difficult emotions, and are more resilient when faced with life's setbacks.
To help clients reduce their symptoms and start moving towards their goals, I prioritize cultivating a therapeutic relationship built upon emotional safety, trust, authenticity, empathy, hope and non-judgement. I enjoy finding common interests with clients, in particular the types of myths, folklore, and archetypes that instill hope.
