About My Clients
You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, disoriented, and heavily burdened. Relationship difficulties, unfortunate circumstances, resentments from the past, and worries about the future may lead to anxiety, depression, and other issues that negatively impact important aspects of your life. Clients acquire new coping and communication skills, learn to change unhelpful thoughts, improve valued relationships, and come to understand and accept themselves in a deeper way.
My Background and Approach
I serve individuals, couples, and adolescents (in the context of family counseling). Encountering a safe person in a safe space lead to healing and growth. I look to provide such a space. A place for you to pause and catch your breath. Together we will identify, and interrupt thought and behavioral patterns that hold you captive and keep you from feeling the peace you so desire. You will learn strategies to self-soothe so that you can realize a calmer, more open, creative, and connected way of life. Clients also learn interpersonal communication skills to improve their relationship with self and others
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My professional orientation is holistic; I address physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual dimensions to realize optimal well-being. I believe that we are created and designed for intimate relationships and that we can all change if we are willing and capable of being honest. That most suffering is the result of unexamined thoughts; and that our thoughts come automatically like breathing and blinking and the inability to break free from entrenched rigid ways of being in the world. As we grow and interact in the world, we develop defenses (other parts of ourselves) that have good intentions to protect us. Curiously exploring, getting to know, and accepting the various parts of ourselves moves us to self-compassion and freedom from looking to fulfill our needs from outside ourselves. It is my belief that unconditional, bondless love is found in your Self.
