I work to provide a safe, non-judgmental, culturally “safe space” where you can share, we can identify what isn’t working, and the best practice interventions can be implemented that work toward your therapeutic goals. Curiosity about why we do what we do is helpful when we need to create different habits. Therefore, in therapy, we work on cultivating a sense of curiosity so we can identify what isn’t working in your life anymore.

Therapeutic success is rooted in how the therapist and the client relate to each other. Authentic connection develops best in a compassionate safe space, Before we can have compassion for ourselves or learn how to trust ourselves, we need to practice being vulnerable which is what we do in therapy. Learning to trust and listen to our intuition is a critical step to healing.

I believe when we strengthen what we are already good at, we reduce the impact of our life challenges. When we integrate newly learned skills with existing skills, we tend to feel more hopeful about our future and increase our self-confidence. These changes can lead to adopting new ways of coping, learning how to view our challenges from new perspectives and to use all of this to live your best life.
