About My Clients
Most of my clients are working to improve their relationships with communication, ADHD, anxiety disorders, self-esteem, conflict, or some kind of life transition they are experiencing. I am open to exploring how I can serve clients with other struggles as well and have experience in many other areas. I see couples and individuals ages 14+. I connect especially well with young adults but have successfully treated people in their 70s. I love working with people who are ready to explore growth.
My Background and Approach
I became a therapist because I love the opportunity to understand others on a deeper level. It is such a privilege to see pieces of the world through so many sets of eyes. I treat my clients like the experts of their own experiences and serve as a guide to help them further develop strengths they might not even know that they have and approach problems they feel overwhelmed by. I am an eclectic therapist, primarily using a blend of CBT, solution focused, strength-based, and narrative therapies. I lean into the approaches I feel best suits my client. In our first session we will work to develop goals I will help you to pursue in our work together. These may change as you grow and start to understand yourself better. My goal is for you to arrive at a place where you feel comfortable in maintain or continuing to pursue your progress independently, but I am working on your timeline. Healing and progress are not linear. I would love explore how I can help you grow.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
These beliefs are foundational to both my work and my life : - We are constantly becoming who you are. We all have positive and negative potential. No one is stuck if they are intentional about discovering new ways to move. - We can find our own path to happiness, and this does not always include a grand sense of purpose. Simple dreams can be the right choice and so can the ones that nobody else understands. We all have the privilege of exploring where we want to fit in the world and changing our mind as often as we need to. - Kindness is beautiful but it is not an obligation. Boundaries are important. No one can give from an empty cup. - Expressions of love need to have the condition of mutual respect or they can become acts of self-harm. - Love, connection, and understanding are powerful. We need to feel it with others and we need to feel it with ourselves to truly thrive. - People should put themselves and others in boxes less often. We're all too complex for that.
