About My Clients
If you’re seeking relief and change in your relationships, you are in the right place! A lot of us experience relationships that “bring out the worst in us”, which is a harsh reality but also a helpful warning sign that there may be some cracks in the foundation of your relationship. Whether this relationship is with yourself or with someone else, beginning therapy can definitely help in sorting out the triggers that send us spiraling. I also work with adjustment, family of origin, & attachment.
My Background and Approach
My background is in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I often use a variety of approaches depending on my clients needs. For couples, I tend to use Gottman Method or Emotion Focused Therapy approaches as this is research based and highly effective with couples. When doing family of origin work, I often utilize Bowen Family Systems Therapy in order to highlight how various pieces/personality traits and even mental health issues of our families carry down through each generation. As your therapist, I am committed to helping you live a life that recognizes disappointments while simultaneously empowering you with ways to continue growth through those disappointments or failed expectations. I prioritize connection and trust so that each client feels respected and understood. It’s important to me that my clients develop their own perceptions, values, and beliefs so that any change that occurs will be a representation of their own personal growth.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I treat all clients with respect regardless of their personal beliefs and values. My personal beliefs outside of loving others, treating others with respect, and creating a safe environment for my clients, stay out of the therapy session. I have an ethical responsibility to remain objective and unbiased toward each client regardless of what they believe. My job as a therapist is to help my clients work through challenges in their life based upon their own beliefs and values not turn them into another version of me. I am hopeful that each of my clients feels valued and respected during our sessions, and I often do check-in's with each client as well to provide opportunities for feedback/open communication. As for interests, I love music, running, hiking, playing tennis, traveling, and trying out new experiences with my spouse!
