About My Clients
I know life can be overwhelming, and I’m happy to be here to help you sort it out. You might have trouble managing anxious thoughts because of your past experiences and new stressors; maybe you’re having trouble figuring out who you are and how your life fits into this world. It could be relationship issues with friends, family, or a significant other. I can help provide the tools to manage each of these areas and help you feel supported and not so alone in managing these issues.
My Background and Approach
I utilize a variety of techniques including cognitive behavioral, narrative, solution focused, and mindfulness based techniques. I believe in recognizing where we’ve lost control in our lives and taking back power - taking back the steering wheel in our lives. I believe in the connection between the body, the brain, and our mental health and behaviors, and I focus on each of these in my treatment. I specialize in anxiety and trauma, but I have extensive experience with other issues such as anger, self esteem, life transitions, past childhood trauma, domestic violence, military families, and expats. I have spent the last 15 years working in the fields of mental health and social work with ten of those years providing therapy/ mental health services.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I genuinely believe that the foundation to our wellness is a sense of belonging and acceptance, so this is a priority of mine in the therapeutic relationship. I believe everyone has the right to live a happy and meaningful life and that, sometimes, figuring out how to do that involves working through some obstacles. I believe my job is to help you with that which means providing unconditional regard but also being authentic, reflecting back to you what I see, and challenging you when i feel it would be helpful.
