About My Clients
It can be overwhelming to feel like you’ve lost yourself. Does it feel like the ‘you,’ inside might not live up to the ‘you,’ that lives, breathes, and presents yourself out in the world? When neither feels like the authentic person that you want to be, it’s difficult to know where to ask for help, what is wrong, what’s off balance, or even where to begin. Even if neither of these things feels totally right, the answer lies in finding the balance between the two of them.
My Background and Approach
I inform my work with my own experiences growing up in the Christian faith, being faced with trauma, managing mental health issues, discovering my identity, and trying (sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding) to find balance in life. I understand that although not everyone who walks through the door will relate with these personal experiences, the underlying emotions of confusion, fear, joy, and sorrow, are universal.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
What is therapy like? Well, we make space to explore together, look at your experiences from different angles, and build a trusting respectful therapeutic relationship that we use as the vehicle for healing and change. We will build this relationship while also building skills, building confidence, and building on your strengths. We work together to identify your personal goals and how I can best support you in them. Therapy is like working with a personal trainer. While I can’t personally run the mile for you, we’re here to help you be a better runner, and that starts by showing up (the hardest part sometimes). I will encourage you, provide resources like an exercise targeting a muscle that helps make you stronger and plot goal posts to break down the seemingly impossible into something real.
