I aspire to form a collaborative relationship with those I work with, being guided by the client’s goals, their contributions to the direction of the work and respecting the values they align themselves with.
While the focus of the work remains on the areas of the client’s life that they bring to therapy, I believe that a psychotherapist inevitably brings some aspects of their personal and professional selves to the work. I aim to be open and transparent about myself and the work I provide. I share here some information about my professional and personal selves and invite questions and feedback during our work together.
I value having an initial conversation to give us a chance to learn about each other and to consider whether we would have a good fit when working together. You may also be interested in reading some of the testimonials from clients, supervisees, and work colleagues.
