In the therapeutic setting, my goal is to provide clients the space to be their most authentic selves. Too often in society, we are forced to wear a façade, or be a fraction of ourselves in any given space, for fear of being “too much” or fear of not being accepted fully. In our sessions, I encourage you to take up space unapologetically. I love being able to help my clients discover their real selves and give them the tools to overcome any obstacles in their journeys towards wellness. I show up to sessions as my authentic self, and I encourage my clients to do the same. The work begins where the masks end.
My therapeutic approach in sessions is from a feminist perspective. I believe that our problems exist on a societal level that impact us individually. By examining the world around us, we can better understand ourselves and how we think. From there, we can implement the necessary actions for change. I work from a client-centered perspective as well.
I will always go above and beyond to meet the needs of my clients, while openly challenging thoughts and patterns, and holding them accountable. Growth, though not always comfortable, is necessary for change. Therapy will not always be fun, but it will be worth it, and ultimately, help you lead the life you always wanted. You are not alone in your journey.
