About My Clients
Have you been feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, or uncertain about your purpose in life? Do you feel like something important is missing in your life, even if you have everything you’ve ever wanted—a good job, a happy marriage, or healthy children? You try to remind yourself of everything that’s good, but still can’t shake the sense of dissatisfaction. Do you wish you had a sounding board to explore these complex feelings and figure out your next steps?
My Background and Approach
The process of therapy can seem somewhat of a mystery to those who have not done it before, and in truth, there is no single scientifically validated approach or philosophy that has been shown to work the "best". I tend to take an eclectic approach to counseling and allow the direction and heart of the work to arise organically. In treatment with me, I will follow your lead as we uncover the hidden culprits (be they thoughts, emotions or self defeating behaviors) that are causing you so much pain. Together we can expose the underlying lessons in the repetitive patterns that seem to come up again and again. By shining the light of your awareness on these expertly hidden patterns, we can watch in joy as they unravel seemingly on their own. I have worked in a variety of setting with adults both adults and adolescent. I specialize in treating grief and loss, adolescent and families, co-parenting, existential issues, depression, anxiety, addictions and trauma.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Since I was young, I have always had a natural gift for sitting with people who were hurting. I was the one who all my friends would come to when they were in pain or experiencing difficulties in their lives. It was a natural progression for me to enter the field of psychotherapy where I have practiced for the past 15 years. I have an ability to navigate right to the heart your pain, helping you feel understood and validated. My role is that of a gentle guide, exploring past and present circumstances and negative messaging that you may have received from the various “helpers” in your life. Together, we can identify where you have accepted the message “I am not OK” in its myriad forms. In the process of therapy, we will bridge the gap between that authentic and beautiful self you have always been, and the one who is so much pain today.
