Personal Statement
Everyone will experience some form of trauma and transition in their lifetime, I believe that we all have the capacity to change and grow with challenges. I empower my clients through building a relationship of safety, trust, and empathy. I create a non-judgmental space to explore struggles and develop coping skills that can be used outside of the therapeutic environment. Through the therapeutic relationship my clients develop tools to use in their personal growth and develop a better understanding of themselves. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse population from young children to older adults. I work with clients to build insight, understand the connection of their life experiences and how it impacts their current thoughts and behaviors.
