About My Clients
I enjoy working with a wide variety of people, whether looking for specific tools or for more introspective work. People come to me for support with worries, mood difficulties, adjustment to life changes, identity exploration or relationship issues, and to learn ways to both change and adapt. I typically work with individuals, adolescents through adults, and also do some couples or family work.
My Background and Approach
The therapeutic connection is a huge part of successful therapy, so my work is first and foremost relational in nature, through which I help you define your goals and together develop a plan to meet them. I help people manage anxiety, mood disorders, changes in developmental stages, family dynamics and general stress management. I use a variety of methods including CBT, supportive listening, goal setting, problem solving, mindfulness, metaphor, humor, and play, with a focus on developmental and attachment needs, using a trauma informed lens.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that people are constantly growing and evolving, discovering themselves and how to be authentic in the world around them, and that therapy can be a way to deepen that exploration. I am very much a believer in the concept of balance in ones life, and in balancing acceptance and change to create a life that feels fulfilling. I am an ally, and always open to growing in my own ability to support people with navigating the world through the lenses of their multiple identities. And, I believe that although the work of therapy can be hard and uncomfortable, there is also room for joy and empowerment. On a personal note, I have two fluffy little dogs who may or may not make an appearance on camera, and believe in the power of the nonjudgmental love for and from our pets. Certainly, my two have provided opportunities for some of that joy in sessions :)
