About My Clients
You're really hard on yourself and find yourself paralyzed with fear of making a wrong step. You're afraid to make decisions or take risks in your life until you've found the "perfect" answer or solution. The indecision and fear of failure stop you from taking action because you get stuck in a haze of self-doubt, worse case scenarios, and uncertainty. Imagine no longer overthinking every decision, trusting yourself, and letting go of the feeling that you're not good enough.
My Background and Approach
I love helping individuals feel more confident, calm, less critical of themselves, and make changes in their lives. Many of my clients struggle due to low self-esteem, unrealistic expectations for themselves, fear of failure, perfectionism, desire to control everything, and anxiety. As a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, I am trained in the Daring Way™, a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. The primary focus is developing shame resiliency skills and developing daily practices that transform the way you live, love, parent, and lead. I also incorporate interventions from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The focus is to teach you how to adapt to whatever life throws at you, move forward in your life, and learn how to deal with any thoughts and feelings.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In ACT, there's a good metaphor that sums up my view of the therapeutic process. You're climbing up this big scary mountain will all these cliffs and edges that are hard to spot up close while you're climbing. My job is to have your back by being on the lookout for any DANGER and shouting directions/guidance to you. I'm not doing this from the top of the mountain looking down at you but across the valley climbing my own mountain. I feel passionate about what I do because it feels meaningful to be a small part of someone's climb. I believe that therapy can provide the much-needed tools and the human connection to let go of the suffering. On a personal note, I'm a naturally curious person who loves both fiction/nonfiction books, true crime documentaries/podcasts, and spending time with my loved ones.
