About My Clients
Emotions are natural, but like anything they can get in the way of you living your best life. I assist my clients in understanding their emotions and in finding their natural strengths, so that we can use them to cope with those emotions. I often find that therapy is like cooking. Each ingredient is delicious but not all ingredients are used in every dish. I believe it is my job to work with you to explore which ingredients work best.
My Background and Approach
The approach I take with my clients is not only collaborative but also culturally sensitive. Due to the wide range of beautiful cultures in our world, I find that this often provides incite into the different struggles my clients may be facing, and has an impact on the different solutions to those struggles. I have been trained to be sensitive to the nuances in cultures, and rather than try to change them, I work with them. I have also received training and have experience working with clients who have experienced traumas. This has included sexual, physical, and emotional trauma, as well as, grief and loss. In my experiences I have learned that trauma does not choose us based on gender, age, or culture, so I have had experience with a range of different populations.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As I stated above I believe each person is unique and therefore requires something different than another. I feel it is important to “click” with your mental health professional and feel comfortable. Because of this I offer free phone consultations to provide others with the opportunity to ask me any questions they may have. If you resonate with anything I said above and/or feel I would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out by phone or email. If after we talk you find that you would rather seek out someone else, I would be happy to help and support you in your search.
