About My Clients
I often work with individuals who have been gifted with a lot of empathy for others but struggle to offer this compassion to themselves. If you would describe yourself as an “over-achiever”, “perfectionist”, “people-pleaser” or “workaholic” who is constantly striving to become “the best” version of themselves, even if it never feels like enough, I may be a good fit for you. I primarily work with anxiety, trauma, CPTSD, and sensory overload or overstimulation.
My Background and Approach
I was trained as a marriage and family therapist so even when working with individuals I am always keeping the impact of relationships in mind that are present in the room either directly or indirectly. I tend to work from an attachment based, trauma informed perspective, and I show up in the therapy room very much the same way that I show up everywhere else. I want my clients to feel comfortable being their genuine selves with me and often that becomes a part of the therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m a firm believer that therapy needs to mold itself to fit the needs of those involved, so I'm as flexible as I can be in the process. I approach things from an integrative, systemic based perspective, meaning that I pull from a number of different styles as needed to fit your needs and tend to view problems as between people, rather than within them. I have a tendency to de-pathologize as much as possible. We are all shaped by our experience, but we are also always changing, and you have a say in what you devote your energy to.
