About My Clients
If you are tired of anxiety or depression having too much power over your life, that is what I am here for. I work with children and adults on anxiety, depression, grief, and healing from narcissistic abuse. As a client centered therapist, I believe in the importance of working with all the identities that make clients who they are, within the systems they interact with. I also love to incorporate mindfulness-based approaches into the work I do with clients!
My Background and Approach
I work with children and adults using cognitive behavioral therapy, parts work, mindfulness, TF-CBT, and play therapy techniques. work with clients to feel more empowered and grounded in their lives, having the ability to respond instead of react. An analogy I often use with client’s to explain my therapeutic approach is to imagine we are in a car together on a road trip. The client is in the driver seat, steering the wheel and pumping the gas or the brakes when needed, while I am in the passenger seat helping navigate which turns to take to get to our destination, playing the music, and letting you know if I see a car in the lane we are trying to get over to. My hope is that this analogy provides you with a sense of autonomy over what your therapeutic experience looks like, while also having an encouraging, supportive person next to you throughout the journey.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My whole life, I have felt an innate value in respect for one's autonomy in their life. As I have grown up, this has shown up through my work in research studying racial disparities in the medical system, and now led me to work as a therapist to be an LBGTQ+ ally. I believe in respect for human rights, bodily autonomy, and that we are influenced by the systems we live in, but that we also have the power to influence those systems.
