About My Clients
Maybe you're struggling with depression or anxiety in response to trauma, an unstable childhood, or illness. Or perhaps you struggle with codependency, setting boundaries, and expressing your needs. Many of my clients are living with a chronic illness and trying to navigate the limitations around their diagnoses. Together, we'll work towards gaining a better understanding of the root causes behind your struggles and towards improving your sense of self, quality of life, and relationships.
My Background and Approach
I offer a supportive and collaborative approach, balancing validation with challenging ineffective thought and behavior patterns. Trained in The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), I use a blend of somatic experiencing and parts-work to help my client's tap into why they do the things they do. In other words, when we get the "Yes, but ..." When we know something is ineffective, yet we just can’t seem to stop. Parts work helps to shine a light on the driving reasons behind problematic thoughts and behaviors to bring about change. Using a trauma informed lens, I focus on helping my clients to regulate their nervous system activation: the flight, fight, freeze, fawn responses. By labeling and identifying emotions, client's will be able to manage and regulate these feelings and stop feeling hijacked by them. I also have extensive experience working with chronic illness and helping clients to better understand symptom development and rediscover a meaningful quality of life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that you are the expert in your own life. As a therapist, I'm passionate about helping people rediscover their purpose, passions, and core self. I understand that the best marker for change comes from the therapeutic relationship. Because of this, I aim to build a strong connection with my clients so that they feel seen, comforted, and supported. Change happens through feeling valued and feeling a sense of belonging. I constantly strive to make the therapeutic space a welcoming place for my clients to feel valued, supported, and accepted.
