Treatment Philosophy::
My goal as a therapist is to integrate various techniques to empower clients to gain ownership over their internal dialogue. We are all authors of our story, and I encourage my clients to become aware of the stories they tell themselves. I provide a comfortable environment for my clients to discover elements of themselves and begin to adapt their narratives in a healing manner. .
My clients can expect that I provide a space for honesty, support, and acceptance when they enter sessions with me. Additionally, I strive to meet clients where they are at. I operate from a client centered approach which emphasizes client’s individual strengths, which empowers clients to decide what is best for them.
“Our successes and failures come and go—they neither define us nor do they determine our worthiness.”
