About My Clients
Are you feeling depressed, anxious, angry, unmotivated? Does it seem like everyone else has it together except for you? Do you compare yourself to others? Are you constantly feeling that you are "not enough?" I work with adults who are suffering from anxiety, depression, stress related to life transitions, relationship challenges, feelings of overwhelm, and those who are working toward personal growth. Let me help you gain self-awareness and learn to challenge those thoughts and behaviors.
My Background and Approach
I started my social work career in child welfare, working with different families dealing with an array of struggles, including substance abuse, domestic violence, mental health issues, and generational trauma. Having the opportunity to speak and connect with so many unique individuals, I realized how much childhood upbringing and other past experiences truly impact future thoughts and behaviors. As a result, I will encourage you to dig deep and go back into your past to look for patterns and themes that occurred around you. We will work together to understand how those things created learned behaviors, thoughts and feelings. Once we understand where the behavior is coming from, we can work together to challenge and change those thoughts and behaviors that are no longer serving you. I will hold the space for you to sit with all of your feelings and will provide you the tools needed for quick relief, as well as long term change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe sitting with your feelings and not running from them is essential for growth and wellness. I value self-compassion and communication. This means that my goal is to help you understand yourself better. What are you feeling and why? Where do your feelings come from? If we can better understand our thoughts and feelings, then we can be honest, caring, and compassionate with ourselves and others, and we can work to challenge unhelpful thoughts and feelings. I also recognize that you are the expert of your life, and I am here to listen, provide support and help guide you to where you want to be. I believe that therapy is a partnership, and we will work together to help you achieve your goals.
