Strength is recognizing that you can't do it alone. My main goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, open, and nonjudgmental space that focuses on each individual's life experiences while maintaining the personal beliefs/values of the client to encourage growth and strength. I value the connections my clients create with me as their therapist; creating a connection with your therapist is important to the therapeutic process and will be the driving force of each therapy session. I work with clients collaboratively to explore their thoughts, feelings, hopes, and obstacles to create goals reflecting their desires for therapy.
I educate and introduce my clients to techniques/skills taught in therapy that can be implemented outside of therapy and used after treatment. My therapeutic approach mainly combines cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) with some elements of person-centered theory. Nevertheless, I also integrate many theories/techniques to individualize each client.
The client is the expert on their life, and I am here to help guide and support them. The basis of the therapist-client relationship is trust, respect, empathy, collaboration, and support are essential to ensure personal growth and healing. I am a dedicated mental health professional passionate about what I do, and I put my heart and soul into my work.
