In my work as a psychologist, I believe that the relationship between the psychologist and client(s) is the vehicle for change. For this reason, I believe that my therapeutic style is one that strives to provide a safe and trusting environment, where you feel support, empathy, honesty, and genuineness. I strive to be transparent and open in session, and work to provide the space for you to be transparent and open as well. Therapy is a process and the work of therapy is shared by me as the psychologist and you as the client. I truly believe that through therapy I can help you find your strengths, feel better about yourself, process difficult past experiences, and understand how your current interpersonal relationships contribute to your concerns. I also believe that our environment can influence our functioning, and like to provide space to explore your various identities and how your experience with privilege, oppression, or discrimination may impact your day to day functioning.
