How I Work
My path toward working as a therapist started when I first engaged in my own therapy. The connection I developed with my first therapist allowed me to experience the healing power of a relationship with a safe, caring individual. I’ve been hooked ever since. (Clearly!) I know what it’s like to be a patient, and work hard to use this knowledge to support my own patients’ experiences in counseling.
As a therapist, I draw from a deep well of empathy, warmth, and a strong ability to respond intuitively to patients in the moment. The need to feel safe and understood is crucial to counseling, and I prioritize developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my patients. We will collaborate on your goals to support your own healing and growth.
I will be brave as your therapist. Empathy and supportive listening are fundamental to good therapy, and I also prioritize being direct about behaviors or limiting beliefs about yourself that get in the way of healing. Change starts with empathy - and it’s fueled by honesty and acceptance of reality. Balancing the two is my highest priority as your therapist. If you are ready to start your therapeutic journey, let’s get connected!
