What should a new client know about working with you?

I am dedicated to supporting individuals on their path to mental health and well-being. Because I believe that therapeutic rapport and alliance are paramount to therapeutic success, my goal in therapy is to hold a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe that every person possesses the strength and resilience to overcome life’s challenges, and I’m here to my clients harness their inner resources through a collaborative partnership. In individual work, I often incorporate different short quizzes, assessments, and exercises to help clients understand their values, strengths, and tendencies to gain greater awareness of themselves and how those come into play in their individual circumstances and in their relationships. It’s very rewarding to help my clients reach their own insights and feel empowered to take ownership of their positive change and healing.
