meet the client where they are, and my initial goal is to provide a brave place to help clients identify what they want to change in their lives and the goals to make this a reality. I believe every client can succeed, and I think of myself as a fellow traveler on your adventure of self-actualization and growth. I use a culturally-competent, integrative style, pulling from multiple interventions, to give my clients a treatment that aligns with their goals. I may ask more in-depth questions to understand my clients better and, at times, will provide active homework. I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship where the client is an expert on their life and I utilize my knowledge of psychological principles. I provide an environment of warmth, safety, trust, and always a little humor. My job is never to judge but help my clients understand what they want out of life.
