About My Clients
My ideal clients are motivated to gain insight into themselves and their life experiences. Whether you are struggling to build self compassion, having relationship difficulties, or feeling uncertain about which path to take in life, it would be my honor to accompany you as a fellow traveler on this journey. I hope to collectively create a space where each of us feels free to be our authentic selves.
My Background and Approach
In my internship at the Flanagan Clinic at William and Mary, I was trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for individuals, couples, and families. The goal with this approach is to reach the underlying emotions behind our negative interaction patterns with others, so that we may recognize when we are caught in them and find another way. I also have experience using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients live in a way that is more aligned with their values and to stop getting "hooked" by thoughts that lead us away from living those values. For those who are interested, I also adopt mindfulness practices in session, including loving kindness meditation, to improve our capacity to engage in life in the present moment. Finally, all of these approaches are rooted in a person-centered focus, operating under the assumption that you are the expert of your own life and my job is never to tell you what is right for you.
