My Approach to Helping
As a counselor I come from a humanistic therapeutic perspective, which operates on three core components: positive regard, acceptance, and authenticity. I strive to provide a therapeutic environment where you will feel safe and comfortable. My belief is that these conditions create an environment where you will be able to experiment with new ways of being; such as changing unwanted behaviors or attitudes, emotional processing, and learning to live in line with personal values.
My past personal experiences with my own mental health and seeing therapists has informed my practice. Through personal and professional experiences I have learned that psychological interventions will work best when they are tailored to the person. I works collaboratively with my clients to identify and implement the correct interventions, over time.
