About My Clients
You're doing your best just to hang on every day. Your old methods of coping may have become problems themselves - and they're not working. Trying to handle it on your own has left you feeling isolated. You're longing to reconnect, to feel understood. But you're not sure how - or who - to trust. You're looking for hope because you know it doesn't have to be this way. I want to help you reengage in your life. I want to listen to your needs.
My Background and Approach
I have a master's degree in counseling psychology and trauma informed training with a concentrated focus on understanding abuse in the context of systemic oppression. I use a relational approach to therapy in conjunction with cognitive and emotion focused strategies.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that relationships are at the core of who we are as people and how we move through the world. We learn helpful and not-so-helpful patterns of understanding ourselves and interacting with others when we are young. Negative events and trauma can play a crucial role in shaping the way we understand ourselves and others and can limit our ability to enjoy our lives and live them to the fullest. My chief desire is to create a safe and caring place for you to feel comfortable talking about you. What are you doing that works for you and what doesn’t? What do you hold most dear? What do you want your life to look like? I want to get to know you and how you see your world. I believe in the possibility of real change for people who are willing to get real. Together, we can explore new ways of coping and relating to others and, even better, yourself.
