My Approach

I believe that every person has the right to feel like they belong and that they are understood and so I use a humanistic and person-centered approach. I work with my clients in a collaborative manner that recognizes that they are the experts of their own experience. I strive to build a trusting, caring, and supportive therapeutic relationship with my clients so that even when they feel that the world is against them, they remember that they have someone rooting for them. We all have both the responsibility and the choice to decide who and how we want to be in life. I believe that people are most satisfied when they live according to their values and when they live a life that feels authentic to them. Finding our own meaning can help us move forward when we feel stuck. I believe that finding meaningful work (whether paid or unpaid) can lend a sense of autonomy, mastery, purpose, and structure to life and to that end, I incorporate career counseling into my therapeutic work when app
