My Approach to Helping
My first goal, when meeting new clients, is to make them feel safe, less shameful, and build trust. I approach clients from a genuine, empathetic stance, which I've refined by working in the mental health field for the last 9 years. I convey that we are partners in the healing process, using psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral theories. I listen, engage, and give insight. I am not a silent analyst. I believe a positive therapeutic experience stems from finding a good match. I encourage clients to have a free phone consultation with me before we decide to work together.
