About My Clients
Do you ever feel overwhelmed? Stressed out? Are you tired of suffering from anxiety? Do you sometimes feel like everything is closing in on you? You can't seem to catch your breath? I know how it feels. You find yourself looking for an escape, some kind of relief. Anxiety can be frightening and paralyzing. I can help, I can teach you coping skills and techniques that can help you achieve the relief you deserve.
My Background and Approach
I help people work through unresolved issues and work toward reaching their goals using an integrative and holistic approach. I work to create a safe space in which acceptance, compassion, and empowerment are key to facilitate growth and healing. My approach is based on evidenced-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic therapy, and mindfulness therapy. With 7 years of experience working with underserved populations, I use these approaches in tailoring treatment to meet the needs of my client's unique circumstances. We will work together to develop a strategy that works for you. I will assist you in identifying thinking patterns that may no longer be serving you and that are actually holding you back. You can learn and develop new ways to engage and connect with your environment. This is one of the bravest and courageous things you will ever do for yourself. Simply being here, YOU have already started this journey of transformation. Be the reason you're happy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe our deepest desire is to find meaning in life, to feel that we are serving a purpose. I also believe that we know deep down what makes us happy. Many times the pressures and demands of life make it hard to express our authentic selves. With a degree in art and years working as a photographer and multi-media artist I appreciate the benefits of creating art as a form of expressing emotions. The act of creation can be very cathartic. I enjoy incorporating artwork as part of the therapeutic process. The process of creation as a release can be very gratifying. Outside of my therapeutic work I enjoy my days with my family, creating art, writing and hiking. You can connect with me for a free phone consultation to help you decide whether this is the right fit for you.
