What is important to you, for your client to feel, when working with you?
It is important for me to create a warm and empathic environment for clients to feel safe to discuss and heal from their personal struggles.
Who do you believe you are for a client as they manage their problems?
I aim to provide support for my clients to increase their insight and help clients embrace their authentic selves through the exploration of their personal stories, emotions, attachment styles, etc.
What drives your passion for seeing clients?
The most rewarding aspect of my job has consistently been the improvements and relief my clients have been able to achieve in their lives. My passion for seeing clients comes from my own experiences and the tremendous benefit I have received from therapy. I hope to provide others with the same support and positive change I have been able to experience through therapy.
How do you believe clients "get better"?
I believe clients have the resources to get better and are the experts within their own lives. My therapeutic process relies on tapping in to client's personal strengths to create positive change within their lives.
