Message to clients

I believe that it is important to provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental environment to each of my clients to foster strong therapeutic relationships. I aim to take all intersecting aspects of my clients’ identities into account, while also recognizing the vast diversity that exists within specific groups. As such, I strive to create an individualized treatment plan for each of my clients and take a collaborative stance to make sure they are getting what they need out of therapy. In addition to individual factors, I believe that it is crucial to also consider how my clients are affected by their social network, societal attitudes and norms, and laws and other policies that impact their lives. Since everyone comes into therapy with their own preferences and varying levels of comfort with discussing their struggles, I make sure to remain open to feedback and try to work at a speed that is most helpful to my clients.
