It is my goal to help you identify what lies beneath the surface, taking you to places that may be uncomfortable. However, it is my belief that once there, the process of discernment and healing can begin. We will focus on building a rapport to strengthen the client therapist relationship as we take this journey together.

The Client Centered approach aims to foster authenticity in the client therapist relationship, whereby the therapist accepts that the client is their best expert. Honing in on this, the therapist works with the client providing support, empathy, and reflective listening. In keeping with the basis of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), the collaborative effort of the therapist and client will find them on a path to alter the client's long held and distorted beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. In this way, the client may learn to see things a little differently, and act upon, and from, their new beliefs, in anticipation of a better outcome.
