My Approach to Helping

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." (Maria Robinson)

Although it would be nice to hit rewind in certain situations, we live in a world where the past is permanent and the future is uncertain. I strive to assist my clients in creating the change they desire by tailoring my style of therapy to the needs of my client. By using an integrative approach to therapy I am able to collaborate with my clients to help them find new ways to solve old problems. I blend conventional and alternative approaches to help my clients see the possibility of a different way of being by walking alongside them through their journey to a more satisfying way of being.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

Throughout life I have faced several challenges that I feel have helped me in my therapeutic practice. Due to my "on the job experience" I feel that it is easier for me to relate and empathize with my clients.

Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance

I feel that the client-therapist relationship is important because the connection between client and therapist is a determining factor in the outcome of therapy. When a client feels felt and can trust the therapist it is easier to accept influence and honest feedback in order to make the changes that the client desires.
