No two people are alike and the same can be said of therapists. Creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental and collaborative space for growth and healing is my primary objective as a therapist. Who you are and what you have experienced is unique, and your path to understanding will be, too. That is why I believe that establishing a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients is a key part of treatment. Such a relationship is essential, as it is often the first setting in which the person receiving treatment shares intimate thoughts, beliefs, and emotions regarding the issue(s) in question.
