About
As a psychotherapist, my role is to help facilitate and support you, the client, in discovering, processing, and most importantly, deciding if changing some strategies you have needed to implement in negotiating your life is a next step in your treatment. It can take time to identify influencing factors in the problems experienced in life. Through the development of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, we will identify issues, if not already clear to you, and take action in the therapeutic relationship itself to develop the relational, emotional, and or behavioral skills you determine need to be the focus of your treatment. I am sensitive to the fact that problems leading individuals to psychotherapy may make therapy challenging. Knowing this may prepare you for therapy to naturally be difficult for a time. Additionally I am aware that finding connection doesn't always come easy, and reasons may include experiences leading to difficulty feeling trust/safety in relationships. Systemic oppressions like racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, and classism, etc also lead individuals to psychotherapy. As a Queer identified therapist, I make a point to identify and provide the needed support in dealing with oppression when relevant to a client's treatment needs, sense of self, and or the relationships that are a focus of treatment.
