About My Clients
I have worked with individuals, couples and families, and ranging in ages between 4 and 81! Living in a low income area, with large amounts of people affected by violence and trauma, helping people work with those feelings of being triggered, anxious, and depressed has become where I find I feel the most effective.
My Background and Approach
With a background in English Literature and librarian work, I fall naturally in with Narrative Therapy and tend to work mostly out of that modality. However, mindfulness, solution focused, and CBT therapy types are used as well. I truly believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I am just here to guide you towards making the best decisions for yourself, and maybe giving a suggestion here or there. I am big on my clients feeling they have agency and so learning coping skills goes hand in hand with the processing of emotions and thoughts.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I take the therapeutic relationship very seriously. Knowing and understanding your world will help me in seeing where maybe something can shift or change to ease the symptoms or struggles you are currently having. I also have a strong belief in compassion and openness so multiculturalism is so important. Learning about others and their culture is so gratifying.
