The foundation of what makes working with me helpful, based on feedback from clients, is the personable nature of our conversations and our connection. I do not place myself on a higher footing than clients. Clients feel more at ease when they realize what they are working on is often the same as many others or things I have faced as a human. Clients know that I am accessible and committed to helping them strive towards the therapy or life goals they express are close to their values.
I work in a DBT practice and DBT offers many great tools and skills . I am also an Art Therapist and have worked in many mental health settings. I like to consider DBT, Art Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and other treatments as tools in a toolbelt I will introduce therapeutic ideas to fit the desires and needs I hear from clients.
I regard all my clients very highly and unconditionally accept them for who they are and what they are doing at any given moment. It is my belief my clients feel this and know this to be true. I take my job very seriously, yet find ways to bring humor, smiles and acceptance into the therapeutic relationship.
