About My Clients
We can all feel “stuck” at any stage of our lives - as a young child feeling big emotions, as adults experiencing conflict in relationships, and as family members trying to find a new “normal” after a life transition. I love working with children (6+) regarding emotional regulation and peer relationships and individual adults who are seeking to take control of their anxiety. I especially enjoy working with couples and families to build stronger relationships with themselves and each other!
My Background and Approach
As a family therapist, I love learning about the intricacies of family dynamics, and I recognize that not one individual or relationship is exactly the same. We are impacted by our individual identities, interpersonal relationships, and larger systems within our society. I prefer a client-centered approach to therapy for this very reason - your story is unique and you are the expert of it! My goal as a therapist is to be a safe, non-judgemental presence and facilitate an environment where you can truly feel heard. I utilize an integrative approach with my clients, bringing in concepts from narrative therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and solution focused strategies. Since you are the expert of your story, I want to honor that and pull from tools you already have in your pocket to get “unstuck.” We may work on emotional awareness, conflict resolution, effective communication, healthy boundaries, and stress management.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a queer woman myself trying to find my place in our current world, I feel that it is important to recognize that we all experience day-to-day life and major events differently based on our own identities. I will always come into each session with open curiosity and hold space for you to explore your own identities and how you make sense of your experiences. You know your story better than anyone else does.
