Therapeutic Style
My therapeutic approach is multi-pronged. I recognize and honor individuals' social identities in the therapeutic space while also honoring my own social identities and how I view the therapeutic process and world. I create a nonjudgmental environment where individuals are able to share their stories and receive support, validation, or an alternate viewpoint, to help them reach their goals. When working with me, please know that I take a collaborative approach. While I have clinical knowledge to apply to our work together you are the expert in your journey. Part of the care I provide includes engaging in collaborative care with your other providers such as primary care doctors or psychiatrists if you are agreeable to this.
I do not engage in one size fits all therapy. I work with clients to find the best approach to meet their needs. Part of what I offer is practicing cultural competence. I gravitate towards a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanistic/Existential practices. I practice from a place of authenticity and am aware of what I do well and what I do not do well. Everyone deserves to be a with a therapist with whom they feel comfortable. With that said, if I don't believe we are a good fit, I don't believe in wasting your time, and will tell you why I don't think we are good fit and do my best to direct you to a therapist who would be better able to assist you. If you do not feel that we are a good fit, then I invite you to share that and I will work to assist you in finding another therapist.
