Personal Perspective
As a trauma informed therapist, I help my clients identify how relational, and other forms of trauma may have impacted their perspective on themselves and the world around them, and their ability to regulate their emotions and behavior. I help my clients discover new ways of expressing themselves and resources that enable them to be their best. I use evidence-based techniques to help my clients see and understand the present moment. I believe the biggest component in a positive counseling experience is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. That’s because people tend to find it hard to be vulnerable when they don’t feel comfortable.
My goal is to make my office a safe place for you. Please let me know if there are any ways I can make you feel more comfortable. That being said, I will aim to challenge you in counseling! If you choose to participate, any and all challenges I throw your way will be for your therapeutic growth. I am an advocate in looking at the root cause of a problem or symptom and that can come with some hard work. Throughout the entire process, your participation is completely voluntary. The more you put into the process, the more you will get out of it!”
