Approach to Therapy and Professional Interests

I am grounded in person-centered therapy. It is my primary approach to working with clients. I believe all people have the capacity to make positive changes that can lead to a more satisfying and healthier life. Offering a nonjudgmental, validating environment conducive to honest reflection is my primary goal. In my view clients are their own best advocates. I see it as my unique role to join with them offering support, guidance, and opportunities for new outlooks. My central focus is providing trauma informed care. My main interests are crisis response and recovery from chronic stress and trauma. I have a keen interest in the physiological impacts of stress and trauma on the human brain and body. I strive to help clients gain a better understanding of their symptoms providing insight, affirmation, and encouragement for their healing journey.                    

Approach to Supervision

I approach supervision grounded in person-centered therapy believing supervisees have inherent strengths, skills, talents, and passions that are uniquely their own. I see my role as helping identify, strengthen, and foster their individuality while we learn together. I want my supervisees to embrace a growth mindset and develop an excitement for the important work we do as helping professionals. In my opinion, working with human beings requires us to be dynamic. As professionals I believe we must always keep learning and growing, just as we desire of our clients. My goals as a supervisor are to empower, guide, coach, encourage, and facilitate the personal and professional skill sets of supervisees.
