Mission
Inclusive
It is critical to create a safe and affirming therapeutic experience for my clients, regardless of race, gender identity, health, religion, sexual orientation, ability, size, culture, socioeconomic status, and life experience. Every person is unique and valuable, deserving of respect, dignity, and quality of life. I am committed to educating myself about issues outside my personal experience and to ask questions to better understand each person’s individual life experiences and identities.
My mission is to provide psychological services for clients of all backgrounds and identities. My intention is to help clients feel safe and celebrated while working toward treatment goals.
Wellness
Wellness encompasses health and functioning on a range of levels, including physical health, mental health, and the ability to function with and adapt to life’s challenges and victories. Mental health and physical health affect each other and influence our ability to respond to life stressors and responsibilities. By improving mental health through therapy services and self-care, we are able to improve our ability, as people, to manage physical and psychological symptoms and attend to our hobbies, responsibilities, and aspirations. It is important to me to spend time in therapy exploring your unique health and wellness experience. Each person is an expert on their experience with their health and my mission is to research my clients’ symptoms and diagnoses to enhance understanding.
My mission is to provide psychological services that address the whole person, including biological and health related struggles and diversity. My intention is to work within each person’s unique limitations to help achieve a better quality of life.
