About My Clients
Currently, I work with individuals ages 16-40 who are dealing with issues surrounding trauma, relational and family dynamics, and self-esteem.
My Background and Approach
I’ll be your rock! What sets me apart is my use of psychoeducation to understand and address the interplay between biological, psychological, and social factors as a core part of my approach, combined with a therapeutic style that is disarming, unbiased, playful, compassionate, and intuitive. I primarily use CBT, DBT, and Schema therapy in my practice. My solution-focused technique, influenced by my fine arts background, involves providing tailored creative tools and resources. This style helps in building a strong, collaborative therapeutic alliance. Clients often leave sessions feeling lighter, and my services have led to symptom reduction and increased personal accountability through empowerment and patience. Clients have also commented on the polite ways I call them out! They also appreciate my faith in them making them convinced therapy works!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Our experiences, unique temperaments, and stories told within our family systems may shape our identities in ways that are helpful but can also hinder us from getting what we want. Our identities may be lost along the way as we navigate safety and security. My journey in therapy helped me revisit parts of myself that were hard to acknowledge. I learned to integrate all my parts, and love and nurture them. Feeling whole means we are ready to cross the bridge between healing and reaching personal fulfillment, improving self-esteem and relationships, identifying our values, and using that as our compass to navigate the nuanced and complex challenges and wonders that we call life. Embodying wholeness means being more flexible and confronting fast-paced changes we can’t control. Learning that I couldn’t control my environment but have choices brought me to this fulfilling career in helping others recognize they have the resources they need to solve problems.
