How has your particular field of specialization evolved in recent years and how has that impacted your work?
In recent years my field of specialization has evolved into incorporating Mindfulness and Compassion based practices. I obtain ongoing training in these fields in order to collaborate with my clients, helping them achieve better self awareness and improvement in current functioning.
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
Coming away from a session with a new perspective or insight, then having the willingness and attempting to put into practice at least one discussed coping strategy.
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
As a survivor of childhood trauma, I'm particularly aware of how our past experiences can impact how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to others. As a result, I am able to empathize with my clients in what I consider to be understanding core shared experience.
