As a therapist, I hold a foundational belief that all individuals have the potential for growth within them. In therapy, I seek to help unlock this potential so clients are able to experience wellness and reach goals within their lives. I see the therapeutic relationship as a mutual collaboration that involves deep understanding and transparency. In order to do so, I aim to establish safety and consistency within the relationship and aspire to remain empathetic, non-judgmental, and compassionate. My clinical experience has involved working with those who have experienced shame, trauma, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and relationship concerns that are borne out of adverse life experiences with adolescents and adults. In practice, I am curious about clients’ experiences, work to process emotions, and recognize patterns in thoughts and relationships. While it is important for me to help my clients improve their symptoms, I also seek to empower clients so they can feel a sense of vitality in their life.
