About My Clients
I meet clients who are experiencing concerns with anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, disconnection within themselves and others. Relational disconnection, gender, sexuality, sense of self concerns, doubts with autonomy, healthy boundary setting are areas that are common concerns for clients. Clients want to be heard, understood, and acknowledged first. Encouraged and supported to explore new methods, ideas, and actions to reduce what is impeding life satisfaction and mental/emotional health.
My Background and Approach
I employ person-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as my foundations for working with a person. In doing so solutions and adaptations can be discovered that you can effectively use for yourself to improve moving forward. The reward is you learn the process of exploration, reflection, problem-solving, and implementation which you can then use to address other life situations, as they arise.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe an essential part of providing counseling is that a person wants to be heard and understood first, encouraged and guided second. Creating a safe and inviting therapy environment which promotes the ability to be heard and understood is essential. Often times, people grow hesitant to face uncomfortable memories, thoughts, and experiences. A safe and inviting environment filled with support, patience, empathy, and void of judgement provides the opportunity to challenge discomfort and to push through memories and experiences.
