About My Clients
My clients often come in feeling like they've lost parts of themselves, are frustrated with the ways their emotional triggers get the best of them, or struggle with coping tools that no longer work. My clients are ready to self-reflect, explore new patterns for change, and are eager to learn about how their past impacts their present. They are often independent, self-aware, and growth-minded. They value their relationships and want to do better than the historical narrative they come from.
My Background and Approach
Becoming a therapist has been a second career after engaging years of my own therapy and wanting to offer the gift of therapy to others. My approach is gentle and direct but compassionate. I use psychodynamic, narrative, attachment, IFS (informed), somatic, and strength-based frameworks. I am a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP) to serve clients interested in a more natural approach that integrates gut health + brain health using nutrition, supplements, and herbal approaches in support of anxiety and/or depression symptoms. I aim to support you in the journey of rediscovering who you were meant to be, restoring relationships that matter, and rebuilding the parts that make you one-of-a-kind.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe every individual is one of a kind and we lose sight of the core of us through trauma, adverse life experiences, unhealthy relationships, and unhealed generational patterns. I value authentic connection, truth-telling, and a deep compassion for the human experience. I believe everyone can rediscover their core personhood through exploration of your story, reframing old narratives, and understanding how your story impacts your beliefs, triggers, and relationships. Your story makes sense. You have strengths that are hard to touch right now. We can make sense of what doesn’t make sense by exploring how your past impacts your present and building new paths for becoming alive to your life in ways that feel authentic. You are made to become one-of-a-kind and you don't have to figure it out alone.
