My Approach to Helping
I utilize a Client-Centered counseling approach, while also integrating tenants from supplementary theories (Attachment, Systems, Psychodynamic); depending on what the client’s needs are. This allows for a deeper understanding of the client to create an individualized approach. I believe that my compassionate and understanding human nature allows clients to feel at ease. In my opinion, it is important to meet each individual client where they are, while promoting a non-judgmental and safe environment. As a clinician, I believe it is imperative to provide empathy and unconditional positive regard to help build and facilitate a strong therapeutic relationship. I specialize in Play therapy with younger clients and employ creative and holistic approaches when working with clients of all ages.
In my free time, my favorite self-care activities include cooking, exercising, being outdoors and hanging out with my pup, Romeo.
