I believe in creating a therapeutic relationship is the most important part of the client’s therapeutic journey. I say journey because my role is to understand clients’ worldviews and experiences through their perceived lens; while creating a space that allows clients to take the lead in their own stories. This practice encourages the client’s ability to process, explore, and develop effective solutions. I view the therapeutic process as a collaboration that facilitates compassion and unconditional positive regard. I work through a trauma-informed lens with adults, adolescents, and young adults experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties to assist clients in the development of coping skills to address life stressors. I believe in an empathic approach that empowers and motivates clients for self-discovery.
