About My Clients
Do you find yourself struggling to navigate a life transition or relationship? Maybe you're not sure what routines or people to bring with you into the next chapter. Perhaps you're feeling stuck and unsure of what your future is going to look like. Or maybe you get anxious and overwhelmed thinking about the future at all! Whether learning to cope with past trauma or overcoming anxiety about the future, I look forward to helping you build confidence in your authentic self and your coping skills.
My Background and Approach
My approach incorporates useful, practical skills while exploring thoughts, beliefs, or experiences that may be showing up in our lives in unexpected ways. Whether you're looking for a quick set of coping skills or looking to unpack a previous trauma experience, I am here to help you find what you need to become your best, most authentic self. When we first meet, I like to get an idea of what's going on in your life, how you're currently managing any stressors or anxiety, and determine what skills have worked for you in the past. From there, I'll encourage you to use what we know works, while teaching you new techniques or skills to incorporate as we go. While I would love it if every skill worked for everyone, sometimes that's just not the case. Regardless, we will find what works best for you even if that means thinking outside the box!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that one of the few certain things in life is that things are always changing. Unfortunately, navigating those changes can be difficult, especially if they're complicated by relationships, anxiety, or unexpected circumstances. Sometimes we may even find ourselves struggling to manage the changes that come with day-to-day life. I frequently talk to clients about their past experiences and relationships to help understand how their values and motivations have been shaped over the years. Though we may not be exploring the past in depth, I believe we can find clues or stories throughout our childhood that relate to how we are coping with current difficulties. As someone who has attended therapy myself, I value transparency when it comes to the relationship between the client and therapist. I believe it is easy to tell whether a therapist is being genuine in their connection with you, and I try to convey that to all of my clients.
