With me as your therapist, I will honor you as the expert of your of your own life. My therapeutic approach is grounded in respect for your autonomy and individuality. It is not my place to give advice, but to ask thoughtful questions to help you to delve into insight, which you can apply to create change.
From the outset a strong therapeutic alliance will be established, which forms the foundation for potential change. We begin by discussing your treatment goals and desired outcomes, tailoring the approach to suit your needs. Initially, we meet weekly, adjusting session frequency as you progress and feel ready.
I offer a personalized, holistic treatment approach that values your diverse lived experiences and identities. Drawing from Client-Centered Theory, Family Systems, and a process-oriented framework, I integrate Feminist Therapies to address how systems of oppression impact marginalized communities. Seeing clients in their entire context is important to best care for them. My practice is particularly attuned to supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including people of color, adoptees, the LGBTQ+ community, cancer patients, and those navigating grief and loss.
As we deepen our understanding of your needs, I leverage my clinical expertise to integrate effective interventions tailored specifically to you. Your feedback is always valued and shapes our therapeutic journey, ensuring our work together is as impactful and beneficial as possible.
With years of clinical experience, I have had the most success with clients who enter therapy…
- Motivated to understand themselves better, ready to explore emotions and lived experiences. Studies have shown that clients who are committed to counseling and the therapeutic work involved are more likely to achieve their goals.
- Open-minded: I’ll offer reflections and questions following what is brought to therapy, and then we’ll explore the brain process that informed those behaviors, and then consider how to use that information to improve functioning.
- With presentations within my areas of expertise: choosing a therapist is challenging! As you’re searching for a provider, take a close look at their populations served and therapeutic approach. Who wouldn’t want a provider who specializes in the concerns bringing them to treatment?
