I went through a very difficult time with my mental health. I felt very low and hopeless at the time. What helped me was going to therapy for the first time. It started me on a journey to self-awareness and self-compassion that has carried throughout my life. Now I would like to help inspire similar journeys through my own work as a therapist.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I enjoy learning about people and their unique thought processes. I ask questions, verify I understand what you're saying and do not rest until I can understand where you are at and what your unique perspective on the world is.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I am very straightforward when it comes to therapy. I am open about the modalities that I use and make sure you understand my process as we work together. I never force anything and am also willing to work from where your at and come up with solutions that are in line with your goals and personal interests
