So every therapist will say they want clients to feel genuinely understood, and I think they do, but I've watched a few whole anime series that I don't personally like just to get more insight on a teen client, and I've read books and research journals for adult clients with unusual circumstances. I only mention it to point out that I'm highly motivated to "get" someone's experience, whatever that may be. I’m committed to honoring each client’s right to self-determination, guiding them toward their own goals rather than imposing my personal views. Part of that is also letting clients in on my thought process "behind the scenes" as much as I can.

Approach Description: Obviously any therapeutic approach will need to be tailored to fit the client's needs and individual goals. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a Gestalt therapy approach, which emphasizes understanding the entire context of thoughts, feelings and behavior, developing self-awareness, and experimentation. I'm passionate about exploring the latest research, read widely, and incorporating philosophy to help clients gain deeper insight into their struggles and guide their journey toward growth.
