My Approach to Helping
My approach to therapy draws on ideas rooted in client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and existentialist theories. Clients are all unique in their goals and search for meaning in life. My initial aim is to provide a nonjudgmental space for self-exploration. I offer a safe space for clients seeking hope. I guide clients through their own introspection which leads to revelation and healing. I also apply a cognitive behavioral lens to challenge and reframe automatic thoughts that hold clients back. I believe that human beings can change our relationship to our emotions by experiencing them mindfully rather than avoiding or trying to get rid of them. I offer insight based on training in CBT techniques, experience, and intuition, but it is from within the client that the answers emerge. I am honored and privileged to journey alongside clients to help them become their most authentic and happiest self.
