About My Clients
I welcome clients of all backgrounds, identities, and orientations. Every person is truly unique and individual, and my only goal is to meet you where you are and join with you on a path toward healing and growth that will serve you best.
My Background and Approach
My simple approach is to join you and support the growth that will naturally come from committing to therapy. I take a client-centered and present-moment focus to each session where we will work together to achieve goals that matter to you. It is my top priority to ensure that you are supported, validated, and valued, no matter what you are doing or experiencing, and I do so through maintaining attitudes of non-judgement, understanding, compassion, and acceptance. It is also my responsibility to challenge you in areas that might hinder your growth, and I do so with an unwavering belief in your ability to achieve whatever you put your mind to. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and strengths-based techniques into my practice, but tailor my approach to your individual goals and desires.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My focus in therapy is to help you find your innate and inner capacities for resilience and strength that will allow you to traverse the terrains of life with greater ease and equanimity. I believe that the best way to find these qualities is, quite simply, to know and remain true to yourself and your values. It is often hard to know ourselves and what our values truly are; life has a way of distancing us from our innermost selves and its feelings and needs. Therapy provides a clear path forward in such self-discovery. It is a journey toward recognizing what in life is most important to you, and learning to see, hear, trust, love, and nurture that truest self within with deep clarity and understanding.
