My Approach
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is at the core of my practice. I prioritize your privacy and trust, ensuring that everything you share in session remains private and secure. Your personal information and therapy records are treated with the utmost care and respect.
There are a few rare legal and ethical exceptions to confidentiality—such as when there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elder, or dependent adult, or a valid court order. If any of these situations arise, I will always discuss them with you and guide you through the next steps.
Empathy
As a therapist, I use empathy to create a genuine, trusting relationship where clients feel safe to explore their emotions and experiences. Empathy helps me:
-
Build connection and trust — helping you feel understood without judgment.
-
Validate emotions — so you can feel seen and accepted exactly as you are.
-
Encourage self-compassion — guiding you to treat yourself with the same kindness you offer others.
-
Increase emotional awareness — helping you recognize patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
-
Support healing from trauma — by offering safety, attunement, and a sense of being truly heard.
-
Improve relationships — modeling healthy communication, active listening, and emotional understanding.
-
Empower growth — using understanding to help you reframe challenges and move toward positive change.
Personalized Care
I believe in offering personalized care to every client. My therapy sessions are tailored to your unique needs and goals, creating a customized therapeutic experience that supports meaningful, lasting change.
