Intro
My approach to counseling is person-centered, peer-informed, and trauma-informed. It is collaborative, culturally sensitive, affirming, and empowering, with an emphasis on providing you with the autonomy and agency to determine which coping skills, care, and therapeutic approaches best fit your needs. Working as a team is imperative for each session to feel like a conversation and not something purely clinical. Providing you with resources you need and desire, along with actively listening, being empathic, and present, creates the ideal atmosphere for healing. It is my honor and privilege to be of assistance to you.
How would you describe your approach to care?
I take an integrative, holistic, and person-centered approach to care that is affirming, inclusive, and grounded in cultural humility. I believe treatment should be tailored to each individual’s unique needs and experiences, and I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques to provide the most effective support. My goal is to create a collaborative environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
What should be expected in the first session?
During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and collaborate on a plan to address them in a way that is most helpful for you, with the goal of experiencing symptom relief within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
