Personal Statement:
"I believe that there are countless ways that therapy may look, depending on what best fits the person(s) I am working with. Above all, therapy is a safe space, free of judgment, where the client is the expert in their own story. I count myself fortunate that I can share in pieces of my client’s stories with them. Although employing evidence-based practice is crucial to my work, I believe that not every approach to therapy will benefit every person and enjoy collaborating with my clients to find an approach that best suits their needs and experience."
