What I Promote
-
A safe space to feel seen, heard and valued
-
A nonjudgmental space inviting your intention for change, exploring what it is you want for yourself
-
Support for inner reflection and self-inquiry moving towards greater well-being
-
Encouragement and support for navigating change and tolerating ambiguity
-
A trusted relationship that relies on accurate empathy and unconditional positive regard
-
Opportunities for self-agency to relate to the world with new perspective, as actors rather than reactors
I employ a collaborative approach for strengthening an individual’s commitment and momentum for change, where people are the undisputed experts on themselves. I will join with you to be able to provide a personalized treatment plan, incorporating your individual strengths and resources while considering the context within which you live. I will rely on evidence-based
approaches and techniques that match your specific needs.
