I have been a therapist for 11 years. In that time, I have worked in group homes, in home services, schools and private practice. I have worked with clients of all ages, needs and backgrounds. My education is in social work and this is at the core of my therapeutic approach. That means that I believe that you are the expert of you and my role is to help you explore. A core value of social work is meeting the client were they are and that's exactly how I approach each session.
My approach to therapy is that it's all about the client and meeting their needs. Meeting the client's needs fundamentally starts with the client therapist relationship. It's paramount that you as the client understand that you should feel comfortable in the therapeutic relationship in order to get the most out of the process. It's my goal to help clients to feel empowered and understand that my role, as the therapist, is to support, listen, reflect, challenge and educate.
I understand that entering into therapy can be daunting, anxiety provoking and down right scary sometimes. I hope to ease those feelings and be a comforting support.
