About My Clients
Are you ready for change but don't know where to start? I help clients move away from limiting beliefs about themselves in order to be more present and grounded in their lives. I enjoy helping clients understand the connection between their bodies and emotions and how to integrate the two. If you feel like your story is too difficult to hold on your own, I would be honored to provide a gentle presence to help you navigate life's difficulties.
My Background and Approach
I want to create space for my clients to feel heard and understood. It's tough to show up and talk to a stranger about your deepest emotions, but as the therapeutic relationship develops, so does your capacity for vulnerability. I believe that each person is an expert on themselves---no one will ever know more about you than you! My job is to act as a gentle guide and resource as you navigate your story and healing journey. When appropriate, I will compassionately offer insights, challenges, and reflections to support your process. Limiting beliefs and thinking patterns can get stuck in our bodies from a young age. These beliefs may be solidified over time as we experience distressing life events that greatly impact the way we feel about ourselves. Once I have established a therapeutic connection with my clients, we will dig into some of these thinking patterns that are no longer helpful using talk therapy, EMDR therapy, or other modalities depending on the specific client needs.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I work to provide culturally competent care for whomever I come in contact with. I am committed to continual learning and growth in this area. If I feel I'm lacking in competency regarding a client or marginalized group the client is a part of, I will seek consultation from someone with the appropriate expertise. While I welcome all people to my practice, I am limited in my training and expertise. If I feel that a client would receive more appropriate care through another skilled clinician, I will provide a prompt referral. I am committed to seeing each client as an individual person with unique experiences, while also taking into account the larger systems at play. My greatest hope is that clients would experience safety within the counseling context and not intensified burden. It is a privilege and an honor to be trusted with each person's story.
