I help clients explore their past experiences to better understand how they effect their present, and guide them towards a more authentic self. As a therapist, I believe in the profound power of authenticity and self-understanding as catalysts for healing and growth. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and empathetic space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported on their journey of self-discovery.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first therapy session is a pivotal moment in the therapeutic journey, laying the foundation for a trusting and collaborative relationship between therapist and client. With empathy and attentiveness, I approach this initial encounter as an opportunity to establish rapport, build trust, and gain insight into the client's unique experiences and history. By fostering a genuine connection and demonstrating empathy and understanding, I lay the groundwork for a therapeutic relationship built on trust and mutual respect. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, working collaboratively to navigate the complexities of the client's inner world and empower them to create positive change in their lives.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a clinician I am nurturing, present, empathetic, and curious. I take the time to get to know each client as an individual, seeking to understand their background, experiences, and goals for therapy. Through gentle exploration, I encourage clients to reflect on their past experiences, relationships, and patterns of behavior, recognizing that these insights are integral to their healing journey.

My treatment methods

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Through techniques such as visualization, dialogue, and mindfulness, clients learn to identify and communicate with their different parts. By fostering an environment of trust and non-judgment, therapists help individuals establish a harmonious relationship with their internal system. As clients develop a deeper understanding of their inner dynamics, they gain insight into patterns of behavior, relationships, and emotional responses. With IFS, therapy becomes a collaborative journey of self-exploration, where clients discover newfound resilience and inner harmony. By embracing and integrating all parts of themselves, individuals can unlock their true potential and embark on a path of personal growth and transformation.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

In my practice, I believe in the power of person-centered therapy to foster genuine connection and profound healing. When you step into my therapeutic space, you're not just a client; you're a valued individual with your own unique experiences, struggles, and aspirations. I approach therapy with empathy, compassion, and a deep commitment to understanding your perspective. My focus is on creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I strive to truly see and hear you, allowing you to feel validated and understood. Together, we'll collaborate on your journey towards self-discovery, growth, and empowerment. I believe in honoring your autonomy and respecting your inherent capacity for growth and change. My role is to provide support, guidance, and encouragement as you navigate your path towards healing and personal transformation. With warmth, authenticity, and a person-centered approach, I am dedicated to helping you cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and create positive change in your life.
