I approach therapy through a non-pathologizing, trauma-informed, and harm reduction lens and understand that the client is the expert of their own experience. I view the clinical relationship as a tool for healing.
I encourage clients to gain a deeper understanding of their internal thoughts in order to develop healthy coping skills needed to pursue their life goals.
