I believe that human nature in its many forms is always evolving and if we are able to harness and lean into this change and learn to grow in healthy ways we can become our best selves. I seek to build a positive therapeutic relationship with all my clients to better comprehend the problems that they may be dealing with in their lives and attempt to assist them in finding healthy resolutions.
I use an eclectic approach so that I can meet each client where they are on their own personal path of life. I lean heavily on CBT for its distinction between behaviors and thoughts and the narrative theory for its explanation of how we use stories to interpret our lives.
I believe the counselor should encourage the growth of their clients, while providing a safe and confidential space for them to explore the unhealthy thinking and irrational beliefs that can underpin their issues. I also specialize in Polyamorous, Open, Ethical Non-Monogamy identified clients and those interested in exploring this new relationship style.
