I prefer the 'human' approach to therapy opposed to 'clinical.' Therapy should be user friendly. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy. I am relationship-oriented, collaborative, and strength-based. My hope for everyone I get to work with is to develop a sense of self: awareness, acceptance, identify values, self-compassion as well as a sense of empowerment.
We all need to be validated for our own experiences and perspective, without judgement. We are not 'problems that need to be fixed.' I think we all need understanding.
I am pretty laid back. I prefer to be conversational and real opposed to the discomfort of a clinical checklist. I like to joke, laugh and may use a bit of sarcasm. I am inquisitive and sincere.
