About My Clients
Are you a woman or teenage girl experiencing depression, anxiety, loss of purpose and meaning, or who has experienced childhood trauma? Let me help you eliminate shame, heal your past, improve depression and anxiety symptoms, gain self-esteem, and experience hope again. If you feel like something is keeping you from moving forward, I’m the kind of therapist who can help you break free from those chains and build a life you love.
My Background and Approach
Our therapy sessions will be unique in that I incorporate evidence-based interventions that focus on each of the five pillars of health – spiritual, relational, physical, mental, and emotional. I will give you tools to decrease current symptoms and then dive deeper to heal issues at their core. In developing your spiritual and relational health, we will evaluate and improve relationships with yourself, others, and your spiritual higher power. Physically, we will focus on somatic experiences, focusing on body sensations as a cue to processing emotions. In working with emotions, I will encourage you when you are ready to feel emotions that may be blocked. I provide a safe space for you to release emotions you may have been carrying for years. Mentally, we will focus on your cognitive map of the world, what and why you believe what you believe, and how those beliefs are serving you or harming you. I have spent years helping women gain emotional healing, self-love, and peace.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe being a woman comes with many challenges, as well as many blessings. While we embrace our beauty, natural alluring femininity, and empowering life force, we also must endure continued inequality in the home and the workplace. We must endure a society that tells us we must be perfect in the many roles we live, like being a wife, mother, partner, homemaker, and employee. While we continue to give and give, we end up losing ourselves. We struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, codependency, and addictions to cope with it all. If we add other socio-economic factors into the mix, our struggles are even more compounded. Mental health issues develop when our environments are less than ideal. This can start in childhood with less than perfect parents, growing up in an abusive home, being sexually assaulted, etc, and can continue into adulthood. Things that happen or have happened to us need to be acknowledged, felt, and processed for healing to take place.
