About My Clients
My clients are looking to manage anxiety and perfectionism, reevaluate unwanted habits and ways of coping, build communication skills and nurture boundaries to help relationships thrive, and make big life decisions around priorities and desires for the future. I'll support you through current struggles, navigating tough moments in your life, while also looking at deeper patterns that can add to suffering. We'll work toward honest emotional expression, growth and change, and holistic wellness.
My Background and Approach
I believe in working relationally and conversationally. I am not the type of therapist who only sits and listens. Over the course of our sessions, we’ll have an open dialogue about your emotions, thoughts, and relationship dynamics. This deep and rich conversation will be a constant. I also call on mindfulness, self-compassion, attachment, and wellness coaching, while bearing in mind cultural and societal context. We'll work together to understand more clearly what’s going on, through both a focus on the present and an eye on the past and how early relationships and experiences can play into current difficulties. We'll uncover new ways to think about your behaviors and relationships, and as your self-awareness increases, so will your ability to make different choices that move you closer to equilibrium.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I came to my work as a therapist from a creative arts background, a stint in the adventure travel industry, and 500-hours of yoga teacher training. Each of these endeavors strengthened my intuitive interest in, and respect for, human connection and relationship; for the human experience. I feel honored and fortunate to support women+ in the work of awareness and change. As a therapist, I draw on warmth, validation, compassion, empathy, and humor. I nurture my clients’ strengths and support their inherent knowing and resilience. I have studied multiple healing modalities, spiritual practices, and therapy treatment approaches, and bring this experience and knowledge to my sessions, which are integrative in nature. I have also personally experienced the power of therapy. I have sat on the client’s couch and shared my own story. I believe in this work, and trust in its ability to nurture insight, growth, and healing.
