(he/him), Training Therapist, MEd Candidate
Therapist in Training
I want to start off by saying that starting psychotherapy can be overwhelming and intimidating. Because of this, I first seek to spend time getting to know clients and building a respectful and collaborative therapeutic relationship. It is my belief that each of us possesses the innate qualities for healing, and working together we can find the ones that work best for you. Working from a strengths-based lens, I seek to center each individual’s unique qualities and capacity for change to support them in finding individualized solutions to their problems.
I work with adults, young adults, and adolescents dealing with a range of difficulties including addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, difficult life changes, self-esteem and issues related to stress. I work from an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed framework and draw from a person-centered approach.
I also attempt to keep in mind the intersecting identities and experiences of marginalization that affect many folks, as well as the impact this can have on day-to-day life. Addressing the hurt caused by systemic inequalities is important to me in the work I do.
If this sounds like a fit, feel free to reach out for a free consultation.
