Treatment Philosophy
-
- As a practitioner my hope is to provide my clients with a safe, and inclusive space to be their authentic self. I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard and understood regardless of their struggles, and circumstances. My philosophy for treatment is to help my clients decrease negative thought patterns, build resiliency, and increase positive coping skills. I also utilize a mindfulness approach to help my clients become fully engaged in what is happening in their present. I believe it is my job to provide support, empowerment, acceptance, and self-exploration to my clients while they are on their healing journey.
