What do you view as a key component of the therapeutic relationship?
Trust is one of the most essential components of the therapeutic relationship. Trust is built when clients feel seen, heard, and cared for by their therapist. A trusting relationship allows clients to open up and share deeply, as well as gain powerful insights that allow for progress and growth.
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
My personality and style exude empathy, warmth, and compassion, which allow me to build an open and trusting relationship with my clients. I have personally navigated many challenging life circumstances and utilized various healing methods on my healing journey. I am a problem solver and helper by nature, and I use all the resources and skills I have to help my clients with their presenting needs. As a social worker, I am part therapist, resource specialist, advocate, educator, and care coordinator. I have studied and experienced multiple healing modalities and strongly believe in attending to the whole person. Together with my clients, we create a holistic care plan that addresses physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual levels. I deeply care for my clients and am very dedicated to their well-being. I rejoice in watching them build on their strengths to manage better whatever challenges they may face.
What are some the unique issues faced by clients in your particular field of specialization, in terms of mental health education, care, and/or treatment?
Most of my clinical experience has been in the field of cancer care, where I have accompanied cancer survivors and their loved ones through the many challenges they face. Often a cancer diagnosis brings a flood of emotions such as shock and disbelief, fear, sadness, anger, and frustration. In facing one's own mortality, it can call into question how and with whom people wish to spend their precious time. It can also be a time where loss is experienced on many levels. Cancer survivors and their caregivers often come to their diagnosis with existing problems and may already be carrying a heavy load of stress in several areas of their lives. Navigating cancer care can be a full-time job that must be added to an already full plate. My role in accompanying people through medical challenges is varied, and I draw upon all the skills that I have to meet my clients wherever they are and to address their needs as they arise. I function as a therapist, helping them navigate the mental, emotional, and spiritual upheaval that can accompany a diagnosis. I also assist in navigating the many facets of the health care system and connect them with much-needed resources.
