Allowing someone to see the most vulnerable parts of oneself takes immense courage, and I am grateful to be allowed the opportunity. I strive to create a genuine and collaborative environment, viewing the therapeutic relationship as an important part of the healing process. In providing a safe and supportive environment I strive to empower my clients to face life’s difficulties with my encouragement and guidance. I see my primary function as meeting a client where they are at and letting them direct the session where it needs to go. To do so, I utilize a eclectic variety of therapeutic models, recognizing that each client I work with is unique. Some of these models include humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral techniques, expressive therapy, narrative therapy, and strengths based therapy. With every therapeutic model I use, I remain fully present and dedicated, while emphasizing the importance of the combined effort between the therapist and client.
