About My Clients
My ideal clients are adolescents and adults looking to change how they view themselves, build self-understanding, and disrupt old stories and behavior patterns. I thrive in supporting folks in developing growth-oriented perspectives that empower them to continue on a path that is more nurturing of their authentic selves rather than their role self (selves). In working with me, we will process unresolved/unexamined emotions, build tools, and develop healthier narratives.
My Background and Approach
With a background in intensive outpatient settings, community mental health, and private practice; I have a diverse set of experiences that has allowed me to cater my skill set to individual needs rather than stay married to one way of providing therapy. By focusing on building an authentic connection with my clients initially, I am able to discern what modality and approach will work most effectively through collaboration and open dialogue. Client empowerment is key as you are the expert of your life and lived experiences. Through a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Strategies, Schema Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-I support clients on disrupting unhelpful thought patterns and developing healthier behavior.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Through both lived and professional experience, I've developed the values of open-mindedness, growth, change, empowerment, education, and integrity. I believe these values present in my clinical work. I consider myself an ally to both the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities as someone who has spent time exploring the impact of systemic forms of oppression and valued my work in empowering folks from these communities to continue nurturing their authentic selves. I value women's empowerment and teaching women how to engage in self-advocacy across settings and break out of schemas that keep them in supporting roles rather than the main characters of their lives.
