About My Clients
There is a particular kind of exhaustion in working hard on your mental health and still not feeling like yourself. The anxiety keeps firing. The low mood settles in. The same patterns repeat no matter what you try. For over a decade I have helped people understand what runs those patterns and how to interrupt them. Mindfulness is at the center of my work: not a habit to add to a full plate, but a way of slowing things down enough to choose something different.
My Background and Approach
Therapy works best when it fits you, not a template. I work from an integrative foundation, drawing on psychodynamic exploration, cognitive behavioral approaches, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and somatic awareness. Which of these shows up depends on what you need. Some clients find it useful to trace where a pattern started. Others want practical tools right now. Often both. I follow your lead on what feels most useful and adjust as we go. The one constant is that you stay in control of the direction.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I truly believe that when we have the right conditions (safety) to acknowledge our own experiences with love and compassion, that we can open up a space to choose a new perspective that helps us grow and move forward in our lives. The internal change is what changes everything! I feel honored as a therapist that I have experienced the rough storms in life where there does not appear to be a way out, and safe harbor is nowhere in sight. I've made it through those storms, not only surviving but able to enjoy life more than what I could have imagined prior. It's a rough road and we need mentors, therapists, and guides when we are struggling. I'd love the opportunity to be your guide on your journey through the storm!
