About My Clients

My clients tend to be high achievers who help others but don't know how to offer the same compassion to themselves. My clients are curious and ready to address problematic thought patterns, to re-connect w/ themselves authentically. My clients tend to be spiritually motivated but religiously conflicted; they’ve had bad church experiences that leave them feeling judged and alone. My clients are seeking peace and alignment between their outer and inner self, while engaging with their purpose.

My Background and Approach

In order for therapy to work, you need to feel safe. My goal is to provide the space for you to process, learn, and grow. My approach is to keep things simple and to provide you with practical and mindful tools. We will define and clarify your goals, so you can live from a grounded and clear-headed interior space, with fewer bouts of anxiety and moments of low self-esteem. I draw from trauma-informed mindfulness, somatic awareness, IFS-informed, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, to help you integrate and find wholeness. Upon request, I incorporate creative expression and spiritually-informed tools to help you connect with your deep sense of self.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have found, both personally and professionally, when we spend time in certain toxic systems (families, a parent with severe mental health issues, church, work environments, or friend groups) we lose contact with ourselves and our inner wisdom. The system could have good intentions, like an organized religious group, but not view the individual as a source of wisdom. We can live disconnected from who we are, our bodies, and our purpose so easily! I have also learned that being a human is not taught, so how would we know how to engage with our physical, emotional, or spiritual selves? We are good with the mental/intellectual part of who we are, but much less intune with how emotions feel in our body and what we can do to care for ourselves. I love to work with clients to become more connected to their sense of self, to learn and to engage with all parts of who they are; so the work may seem simple, but it is profound and life changing. I’d love to work with you, if this resonates!
