About My Clients
Are you struggling with balancing work, family life, and/or the responsibilities of caring for kids and aging parents? Do you feel overwhelmed by competing demands, stretched for time, and weighed down by self-doubt? I know what it’s like to sit in the client’s chair and navigate life’s transitions with support. I specialize in challenges I’ve also faced, offering practical tools, perspective, and a thoughtful starting point tailored to each individual’s needs.
My Background and Approach
I have over 25 years of experience supporting diverse populations. My approach balances therapeutic support with psychosocial education, bringing extensive knowledge of family dynamics, managing challenge/change and finding our space, voice, and some joy in today's challenging world. I will create a space for clients navigating life transitions, stress, and the demands of supporting those around you. Through reflection, validation, and CBT tools, we identify stressors, challenge unhelpful thoughts, strengthen coping skills, and support clients in setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and navigating change with clarity and resilience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a glass half full girl. I don't know how to be anything else. If we can see our cups filling up - and that there are ways we can change thinking or actions to help fill our cups - we can move one step at a time in that direction. While I understand not everyone comes to therapy feeling this way, I think it's important to help folks find the good, find the people and things that help fill them up, and find the resiliency within themselves. I also find the idea of the serenity prayer to be comforting and grounding when I'm in my head and feels. And I bring those ideas to therapy. How can we find the strength? How can we find the courage? And how do we know the difference between what a situation needs from us? And lastly, I believe wholeheartedly that we must 'put our oxygen masks on first', because if we're not good, we can't do good for others that we love and care for.
