My first goal as as therapist is to create a trusting, supportive environment for clients. I take a direct and collaborative approach to sessions.
I like to take the first few sessions to explore clients' identities, past experiences, and their reasons for seeking therapy. I'm relationally-oriented, meaning that I take a lot of interest in clients' current and past relationships.
I have a lot of experience working with people who have experienced trauma, particularly within relationships, and I believe it's important to explore the impact of various experiences and relationships on individuals.
want to learn for managing their stress/distress, want to explore patterns in their current and past relationships, and who want to heal and feel more confident in their daily lives
I have a lot of curiosity around how people make sense of different experiences and how this relates to their identity, purpose, and way of relating.
