My view is that we are connected internally and externally in a web of different systems that impact us, and through understanding how these systems and the client are affecting one another do we get a comprehensive view of what’s going on. When appropriate and agreed upon, I will work with people in these different systems (e.g., family, loved ones, teachers, primary care providers, social workers, parole officers, etc.) to help provide continuity of care and a cohesive treatment plan. I understand that seeking out therapy services can be at times daunting and unnerving – trying to find a good fit between client and therapist, opening up to said therapist – it’s a process. I know I am not a perfect fit for everyone, and encourage an open dialogue about fit, so if there are concerns, it can either be addressed or discuss if a referral needs to be made. I also know people sometimes come in sharing details about themselves and their lives that they may have shared only with a couple people or not at all. I try to make space to honor a client’s story and support them to share at their own pace.
