Working in mental health comes from a deep desire to help others navigate the complexities of emotional and psychological challenges. I have always been extremely passionate and curious about learning how the mind works and what drives certain behaviors. I recognize that mental health is influenced by both biological factors and environmental circumstances. For this reason, I believe much healing and growth can happen in therapy when provided in a consistent manner.
I prioritize empathic listening, creating a space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment. By validating their emotions and truly being present, I show that I respect and acknowledge their experiences. I also aim to gently challenge clients in ways that encourage growth. Utilizing a “what happened to you?” perspective, rather than “what’s wrong with you?” allows clients to feel seen and supported, fostering a deeper sense of trust and connection throughout the therapeutic process.
Building trust and a strong therapeutic alliance starts with creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves. I believe in meeting clients where they are and respecting their individual journey. By fostering open communication, I encourage honesty and transparency, ensuring that clients feel heard and understood. I also emphasize the importance of consistency, both in terms of attendance and engagement, and I strive to model these values in my own practice.
