About My Clients
As a therapist, I look at the whole picture - I want to see what has been impacting you from inside, out and together we will figure out the best plan of action for you. I want to facilitate your healing, growth, and change in a way that feels safe and caring.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. This means I went to school specifically to understand how relationships work and what can be done to make them more fulfilling. Working with couples and families is one of my passions because I believe that when you have a third party, then you get an opportunity to step out of what might feel chaotic and look at what's happening from afar. When couples and families are struggling, there is usually a common denominator - people feel that they are misunderstood, mischaracterized, and under considered. A sense of "no one is listening to me" or "I don't matter" is incredibly common. I help couples learn to truly hear each other. I like to act as "translator" helping you express yourself in a way your partner can finally understand or helping you to hear the words your partner has wished so deeply for you to hear. When we work together, we will look to heal the wounds that naturally occur in our relationships
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
When I work with individuals, I take a relational perspective. This means that I don't see the problem as living "within you" but as a response to the things you've experienced in your life. I believe that we learn to develop our defenses as a way to manage the world beyond us. And that those defenses can sometimes keep us incredibly safe while also causing us a lot of pain, anxiety, and confusion. In therapy, we will explore the history of your life and then work towards healing past pain so that you can live more fully.
