Meeting the client where they are is an important part of my approach. That means working from a culturally sensitive, and trauma informed lens that incorporates various treatment modalities, as well as empowering the client to tap into their internal strength, and to find support in community.
My training is eclectic so I like to draw from different approaches, both orthodox, and unorthodox. Centering the client, and drawing from approaches that will be sensitive to their needs, I use more concrete techniques such as CBT, DBT and mindfulness to help with psychoeducation and grounding, and psychodynamic, and transpersonal to explore more abstract, existential and spiritual concepts.
I strive to create a warm and safe environment for the client to challenge themselves to explore who they are, and set intentions for what they would like to achieve in small, palatable steps.
