Our early attachment relationships shape our view of self, and our understanding of how we are to be in relationships with others. Throughout our lives, our surrounding environment and life experiences continue to shape and influence these perceptions of who we are, and of our role in the universe. This becomes our unique personal narrative. Counseling provides an opportunity to explore these narratives, uncover hidden strengths, and find healing for our wounds.
As a systemically oriented therapist I see how our social, cultural, economic, and spiritual experiences impact our lives and mental health. I believe that, while keeping these lenses in mind, within each client lies inherent strengths to draw from towards healing and growth. My goal is to help my client discover and build upon those strengths.
I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the foundation from which this work begins. Therefore my goal as your therapist is to provide a warm atmosphere to establish a collaborative relationship with which we can work together through a tailored, integrative approach to meet your needs.
