About My Clients
You want to feel confident in yourself and fulfilled in your relationships and life, but instead you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in thoughts about the past, or crippled by the “what ifs” of the future. Life doesn't have to stay this way. Clients come to me looking to heal from past distressing events in order to cultivate a sense of purpose and joy in the present. Along the way, clients learn how to regulate their emotions and make aligned choices for the future they want.
My Background and Approach
I wholeheartedly believe you already hold the wisdom and intuition you need. Many of today’s solutions for emotional and relational distress or life transition involve the assumption that the therapist is the guru and holds all of the answers for their clients. This often leads to clients feeling more disconnected from themselves and dependent on their therapist. I believe you are the expert on you and that you already hold the wisdom and intuition you need to heal - in our work together, I help you to reconnect with that inner self and access healing and growth and that’s aligned with the unique person you are. Rather than handing you over-simplified strategies for thinking differently or choosing new coping skills, I help you first identify past experiences that impact the pain and unhelpful patterns of the present. Then, we explore ways to heal that past pain in a manner most effective for you. In our work together we'll uncover the resources you need within you to heal.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe you are the expert on you. As a white woman, I understand that I don't "get" what it's like to be in another body and experience life with less privilege. From that understanding, I make it a priority hold space for the unique story you come from, to honor your experiences and hold space for your intuition. It's a priority to remain abreast on essential matters of culturally and historically informed therapy. It’s my life’s greatest honor to be witness to the stories of healing in my clients. This is only made possible when the space is emotionally safe, without judgement or assumption. This includes upholding the confidential nature of our work together. Because I believe my clients are the expert on themselves, I follow my client’s intuition regarding what they need and what is working. We pivot approaches where necessary and I continuously point clients back to themselves, building their sense of trust in self.
