I believe in using an individualist holistic approach with clients. When working with clients I utilize an integrated approach to best meet the personal needs of my clients. This integrative counseling approach strives to balance mindful awareness, a genuine and empathic relationship with the client, and a collaborative effort at identifying what changes a client can make to minimize emotional and behavioral disturbances. I strive to empower and assist clients by expanding a healthy awareness, providing nonjudgemental support, and teaching adaptive coping skills. I believe that people have the skills, competencies, and abilities that will help them reduce the influence of problems in their lives and that it's the therapist’s job to enable clients to thrive on their own. I believe that the counseling relationship is one that is built on trust, honesty, compassion, and safety, and is one of the most important factors in the therapeutic process. Embarking on a counseling journey is a brave undertaking that we will co-create and navigate together.
