About My Clients
At this time, I am taking clients who’s birth sex and gender identify are female between the ages of 14 to 34. If you are gender fluid or questioning and interested in working with me, message me and let’s talk further. I see clients who have been in therapy before, are ready to do the work it may take to feel better, and are looking for a therapist who can help them move past the places where they feel stuck.
My Background and Approach
Be prepared for sessions that will focus on your: coping skills, balance in life, approach to self-care, and ability of offer yourself compassion. My goal is to help you feel ready to move toward a life that feels more fulfilling, while also dealing with the challenges life has thrown at you. My foundational approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which means I focus on helping my clients identify the thoughts and behavioral patterns that don’t serve them or help them become who they want to be. I pull from a number of modalities though. I love DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) which focuses on skills to improve your reactions to stimuli and find balance between the super rational and super emotional parts of your brain. I also pull from Narrative, Solutions Focused, Strategic, Restoration, and Gestalt Therapies. All of this connects to my belief that between challenging our negative/unhelpful thought patterns, and “re-storying” our lives, we can find healing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm a therapist because I want to help others heal from the injuries and traumas they've encountered; I want to end death by suicide and am doing this work in many different ways, but my work as a therapist is the primary. Also, I've always been passionate about helping kids in the foster care system or who have been adopted to deal with these experiences. I've worked in foster homes, residential programs, and with families who have adopted since I began my career. I'm a passionate animal lover and have two dogs.
