About My Clients
Do you find yourself overwhelmed, tired, & dissatisfied? Are you constantly criticizing yourself for how you feel? Is it difficult to prioritize your needs? Does self-care seem like an indulgent fantasy? If so, you are not alone and you deserve to feel better! The fact that you are even reading this shows a part of you believe this too. I would be honored to come alongside you to help you reconnect with yourself, learn skills to feel empowered to advocate for your needs, & support your growth!
My Background and Approach
I use a person-centered approach to counseling, which means that I believe that each person is the expert on themselves. In therapy, you'll get to be in the drivers seat deciding where we go and I will be in the passenger seat, going along with you on your journey towards healing. I also use a lens of self-compassion, guiding you to see yourself with more understanding and acceptance. At times, I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills to help you challenge negative thoughts or an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach to help you understand different parts of yourself and learn to free these parts from the burdens they carry.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I genuinely believe that each person I work with has everything they need within themself, sometimes, our inner resources are just blocked. In therapy, I trust the people I work with to go to the places they need to go when they are ready, and I will be there alongside, ready to support and guide when needed. I think that when we are struggling with mental health issues, it is often because the coping skills we have relied on for so long are either no longer working, are now causing us pain, or they are blocking us from accessing the very thing we want. I believe people are capable of growth, and I care to support you.
