About My Clients
My belief is that it’s imperative to have a healthy relationship with yourself in order to gain insight about the perceived problem. No one knows you better than you know yourself, and my goal is to help you unlock answers and awareness buried within you. While there are many techniques, approaches, and coping mechanisms that act as tools–it is the facilitation of growth, unconditional positive regard, and strong therapeutic alliance that I believe is the catalyst for change.
My Background and Approach
I maintain a strength based approach, which means to identify capabilities in a person, sometimes unbeknownst to themselves, and encourage the individual to utilize those strengths to conquer challenges. Throughout this exploration it is important to consider an individuals system in which they operate, because roles are a huge component to what messages we tell ourselves. What would happen if we could change those internal messages or modify them to be more useful?
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
A lot of people think of psychotherapy carrying the stigma of being weak or “crazy.” Psychotherapists are people too who have challenges and don’t look to raise themselves on some sort of pedestal. If you’re choosing to attend counseling, it’s because you’re looking to be engaged in a nonjudgmental environment of emotional growth where you’re liberated to self exploration. Ultimately, for me, this is the essence of treatment.
