Great to meet you!
I have been working as a therapist for the last 5 years and have recently opened up my own practice. I am a certified trauma therapist however I work with a wide range of clients who come with all sorts of life experiences.

I have been working as a therapist for the last 5 years and have recently opened up my own practice. I am a certified trauma therapist however I work with a wide range of clients who come with all sorts of life experiences.
I pull from a wide range of therapeutic practices because I believe therapy is not a "one size fits all" space; what may work for one client will not for another. I aim to listen and validate a client's experiences while helping them build the autonomy to take control of their lives. I have a "chill but challenging" approach with clients. While I aim to create a relaxing environment in the therapy space, I will push and challenge clients when necessary.
I aim to create a very welcoming environment for every new client. I explain a little about myself as well as my approach to therapy. I then will leave the session open-ended to discuss what the client has come to therapy for. They are encouraged to share as much as they feel comfortable, since it is their first time meeting me and they may not feel comfortable disclosing all aspects of their lives.
