Message to clients

"Therapy is a unique opportunity to experience a relationship grounded in openness, curiosity, and kindness. My style emphasizes present moment awareness to identify patterns affecting client's lives. I want to work with clients to explore and examine each person's unique needs, wants, and goals within every therapeutic process. I prioritize customizing the therapeutic experience based on each person’s social, cultural, and familial history. I strive to demonstrate emotional attunement, compassion, and engagement with each client I meet with. I want to encourage clients to be an empowered member of their own change process."
