About My Clients
I know that finding the right therapist can be challenging, especially when things may already feel overwhelming and you're doing your best to keep your head above water. Life gets busy, relationships get strained, and it can be tough to juggle all of the different hats you wear. Together we can find ways to empower you to navigate life's ups and downs. I show up in sessions as my genuine self and hope to create an environment where you feel safe to do the same.
My Background and Approach
I take a holistic, client-centered, directive approach with individuals and couples, which means that I hope to get to know people as their whole self, not just the “problems” that are bringing them to care. I strive to provide non-judgmental care & consistent, neutral support. I am passionate about the work that I do & specialize in couples counseling, relationship issues, anxiety/stress management, life transitions, parenting/parental skill building, self-esteem & codependency. I take an eclectic approach to client care, which means that I will often pick & pull interventions from different treatment modalities to support clients as they present in each session. I have extensive training & experience in a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches, including Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, & parental skills training.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone has strengths and worth. Sometimes, people lose sight of this and life stressors can leave them feeling lonely and worthless. My goal is to empower clients to identify, build upon, and actively utilize these strengths to work through barriers that may be leading them to feel "stuck." I believe that everyone has worth and I hope to support clients with strengthening their self-esteem so that they are able to show up fully and genuinely in their lives and relationships. I believe that relationships can be extremely challenging at times and through the development of effective interpersonal skills, people can protect their space and resources as they share it with others. I believe that you have made it this far into reading my profile, so you have already taken a HUGE first step towards feeling better. I know that reaching out and asking for help can be extremely difficult, and I am here for you.
