ADVANCED DOCTORAL EXTERN
I believe being heard and validated is essential to thriving so I hope to create a space for all clients to feel safe to share their stories. I practice from a relational perspective, which views relationships as the key to growth.
Experiences in our lives may have told us that we need to hide parts of ourselves to be accepted. I want to partner with clients to co-create safe and empowering relationships where we can explore the parts of yourself that feel unacceptable but are longing to be seen and heard. Through our work, we can process the ways you relate to yourself and others and sit together in all the difficult emotions that come with healing and growth.
It is also important to me to acknowledge the systemic factors that influence all of us and our relationships. Systems of oppression shape the ways we see and interact with ourselves, others, and our communities. What society labels as “maladaptive” are often very adaptive responses to oppressive conditions. I strive to always be conscious of how these dynamics may be impacting my clients and our relationships.
Opening up yourself to a stranger is never easy. Thank you for taking this important step towards healing and investing in yourself!
