Clients often describe me as authentic, energetic, and engaged. My warmth, acceptance, and genuine care and interest in you is evident- I'm not a detached clinical robot that expects you to figure it all out on your own while I sit in silence. I take my work very seriously, but it's not uncommon in session for my clients and I to laugh together and find humor in life's challenges. There is value in making space for the wide range of your emotional experience- fear, sadness, and rage... but also freedom, peace, and joy. I can be direct and solution-oriented, but I will always ask for your ideas and feedback- the goal is for our sessions to feel both supportive and collaborative. It is essential for us to develop a safe and trusting bond to facilitate your evolution and progress. I aim to meet you "where you are at" while also gently nudging you out of your comfort zone, as that is where the growth happens. It is highly meaningful to me that my clients feel my true investment in their wellbeing and personal growth.
