About My Clients
I'm passionate about helping adults manage anxiety, relationship stress, grief/loss, life transitions, and trauma. I especially enjoy supporting therapists and trainees in the mental health field. My clients are open, curious, and eager to understand themselves and the roots of their deepest concerns. Working together, we will cultivate a trusting and reliable therapeutic relationship, enabling you to freely address you deepest concerns and be your most authentic self.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in helping clients explore challenging past experiences, manage life transitions, address relationship challenges, and process grief/loss. My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that the past holds a key to the future and the healing, transformative nature of relationships. We'll work together to not only reduce your symptoms, but also figure out where they started so you can prevent repeating old patterns. Our sessions will focus on exploring your relationships with friends, family, romantic partners, and most importantly, yourself. Together, we will discover what is and isn't working in these relationships, and discuss ways to feel a greater sense of empowerment and authenticity within them.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I think that the root of many people's challenges is the ways we protect ourselves from acknowledging and experiencing painful emotions. It's like pushing a beach ball under water - they will pop up eventually. Protecting ourselves too much from pain can lead to feeling detached from yourself, others, and the world around you. My aim is to help you safely process these painful experiences so that you can engage in your life and relationships in a deeper, more meaningful way. Also, I firmly believe in the healing powers of a safe and reliable therapeutic relationship. I have both witnessed this in my work with adults from all walks of life, and within my own therapeutic journey. This is why I will prioritize us collaboratively creating a meaningful, trusting relationship from the get-go. Overall, I'm thrilled you are taking this step for yourself and would be honored to support you!
