About My Clients
Imagine a day when you felt like you, and you truly knew who that was. Where you didn't feel overworked and stressed. Where you could say no without overthinking about what someone else would think. Where you had control over your time and energy. Where worry wasn't your motivation. Where you felt rested and calm. Doesn't it sound like a dream? Through therapy, we can begin to develop new patterns that can help you to facilitate the changes needed to create this life.
My Background and Approach
My therapy approach focuses on the language and stories we tell ourselves and others. I believe that words are powerful in healing. I also focus on how past and current family systems have impacted you. This helps provide clarity to why we do the things we do. Finally, I integrate solution-focused changes and skill-building into each session. I collaborate with my clients around therapy goals and how we meet those goals. I am committed to your treatment. My work for you and your mental health doesn’t end when our session ends. I continue to work far beyond the time we meet to research, treatment plan and prepare. I expect the same level of commitment from my clients. Typically, we will meet an hour a week. The change happens in the time between sessions. My hope for my clients is to take the insight, skills and clarity from our sessions and cultivate lasting change in daily life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in helping you find you, the real you, not the you that is controlled by “shoulds,” “have tos,” and “what will so-and-so think.” Our lives are conditioned by those around us but we do have a choice. I’m here to help you see that choice, use skills to deal with the coping patterns that keep us stuck, set boundaries and put your needs first. Instead of helping you to fit into the world, I help you create a place for yourself as you truly are in the world. I believe our world is better with you being YOU in it.
