About My Clients
Are you wanting to improve your relationships with others, including families, friends, loved-ones, and co-workers? Do you enjoy examining your own thoughts, feelings and history to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships with others? I enjoy guiding my clients to explore connections between their past relationships and current life struggles in order to live more authentic and fulfilling lives.
My Background and Approach
I have extensive experience working with individuals, families, and children from diverse backgrounds with a range of mental health issues, from severe and chronic mental illness, acute crisis situations, to phase of life difficulties and transitions. I also have expertise in working with gifted and twice-exceptional children and families. My approach is nonjudgmental, straight forward, and collaborative. I enjoy guiding clients to access their internal strengths and resources to help them make lasting changes in their lives and relationships with themselves and those in their lives.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can benefit from a supportive relationship with a therapist at some point in their life and that everyone has the capacity for personal growth and insight. I have personally benefited from therapy throughout my adult life and through those relationships have grown not only as a therapist, but as a wife, daughter, mother, and friend. Through examination of my own developmental and relationship history, I have been able to recognize patterns and triggers that have led to a deeper understanding of my self and of the important people in my life, leading to deeper and more satisfying connections. I strongly believe in being curious about those who are from different backgrounds from my own, which I find has allowed me to develop a deep and genuine empathy and respect for others.
