About My Clients
You deserve to feel empowered. Feeling anxious and depressed can be a part of life, but you also have so many strengths that can help you through those times. My role as a Drama Therapist and Professional Clinical Mental Health Counselor is to help you recognize those amazing qualities that you most certainly have, and to explore the roles you play in your life, while we practice together how to respond more ideally to those inevitable life stressors.
My Background and Approach
I primarily use Drama Therapy as well as talk therapy in my work with adults and children. The beauty of Drama Therapy is that it can look so many different ways, so it can be tailored to each individual in unique ways that serve each client differently. I utilize a humanistic, person-centered approach with the idea that empowered individuals are more free and have better access to choices they feel good about. The founder of psychodrama, Jacob Moreno, believed that everyone plays several different roles in their life and thought that the more roles a person has access to, the healthier they are. People often seek out therapy because one or more of the roles they play in their life aren't going well. Life is like an ocean with moments of calm and stress, I can help you manage those waves, and know that they always eventually pass. Together, we can take a deeper look at how your life is "playing out" and we can become allied in helping you feel empowered & ready to surf that next wave.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that individuals who are empowered are more free and can access choices they feel good about. Everyone has strengths, period. While you may be coming to therapy for parts of you that feel unlovable or roles you play in your life that you're ashamed of, you can feel safe here knowing that I would never judge you. You are not alone. We can work as a team to get you feeling good again. As dark as it feels right now, I have also struggled enough to know that it always eventually passes. We can work on how to make that waiting period more bearable.
