Philosophy
My philosophy of care represents individuality while upholding moral and ethical standards. Care, in the therapeutic sense, should acknowledge the value an individual has to offer and provide services according to the person and their own goals set forth.
Personal Statement
I take pride in my ability to build a strong rapport with individuals within a short amount of time, providing both trust and empathy along the way. My clinical experience has shown me that everyone should be heard without judgement. My goal is to provide each individual with a safe place to heal from prior experiences and to explore current ones in order to welcome change and growth. Sometimes, therapy can be hard and uncomfortable; however, I am willing to walk with you through this journey to help you transition into being the person you envision. As we work together, you will see the benefits and enjoyment from the therapy I provide.
