You can experience joy and wholeness in your life and no longer be trapped by past experiences and wounds. I look forward to supporting your along this journey towards emotional freedom.
My Background and Approach
Starting my career in working at a residential treatment facility for children and teens, I supported my clients on learning appropriate coping skills, social skills and finding ways to better express their emotions. Over the last 6 years I worked on an intensive in-home team providing therapy for families who have experienced trauma or chronic stress. Pulling from those experiences in addition to other trainings I love to support people in exploring how the past is holding you back from living your fullest life today. I utilize various approaches to support individuals in exploring triggers, using different techniques to teach them to manage their emotional states, and work on changing negative thoughts that have them stuck in old patterns. I also support parents and caregivers to support their child’s growth- to get the most out of their child’s time in therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. Archimedes once said “ Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” I am astounded by the ability that humans have to overcome, if given the right opportunity. I believe the main reason we develop mental health issues is because we get stuck in patterns of behaviors, thinking or feelings that served us at one point, but now are causing us pain. If we can find a way to alter those patterns and get to the source then we can experience healing and emotional freedom. I also believe that healing and growth is a journey not a destination, the journey will have it’s ups and downs. As a mountain climber myself I love the metaphor a mountain can bring to the therapeutic process. It isn’t my job to carry you up the mountain but to act as a guide and support while we climb this mountain together! Trust me- the view is worth the climb!
