What is the best part of the work for you?
The best part of my work is witnessing my clients' growth and transformation. It's incredibly fulfilling to see them connect with their strengths, overcome challenges, and move towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. Being able to support them in their journey towards healing and empowerment is deeply rewarding.
What might a session with you look like?
Sessions with me are a blend of structured and flexible, adapting to the specific needs and goals of the client. We may use a mix of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, mindfulness, and EMDR, to explore current issues, past experiences, and future aspirations. The sessions are a safe space for clients to express themselves, process emotions, and develop coping strategies.
What might surprise people about the therapy process with you?
What might surprise people about the therapy process with me is how much we can use humor and genuine conversation to explore serious topics. While therapy is a place for deep and meaningful work, it doesn't always have to be heavy. I believe that incorporating lighthearted moments and being real with each other can make the process more approachable and less intimidating. It helps build a comfortable, trusting relationship, making it easier to navigate the complexities of personal growth and healing.
