About My Clients
Life is crazy right now! Does this new hectic make balance difficult? Maybe parenting stressors weigh on you. Perhaps your child may be struggling and the right words aren't changing the problem. I can work with you to find the best strategies and self care to maintain the delicate balance that life requires. I have spent many years working with individuals to navigate their symptoms, needs, likes, and dislikes to work together to find new skills to make daily life feel back in balance.
My Background and Approach
The main goals of spending time in a therapeutic space with me is supporting positive change in emotional regulation, trauma responses, daily life, and relationships. I have been through many trainings, but what I have learned from real life therapy is that everyone is an individual with specific desires, baggage, dislikes, and goals. Each client gets access to be their own guide with my support in this safe space. I believe in empowering emotional development and cognitive awareness with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Problem Solving Therapy. This type of work allows for clients to dive into their own thoughts, reactions, and how they would like any of these things to change. Also, the idea that everyone is in charge of themselves and has their own level of desire for change is one of the main aspects of Motivational Interviewing and is highly supported in Art Therapy techniques as well.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have had many different roles over the past 12 years. I worked with homeless teenagers, foster children and parents, foreign exchange students, and have also provided in-home therapy and in-school services for high needs children and families. Because of my different roles, I have gained insight to many different populations and learned about many individuals. I have traveled to several different countries and gained perspective about what is important and personal desires and beliefs. I enjoy learning about those who have different beliefs than me and support positive social change in the world.
