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 areas. I see individuals ages 14+. I connect especially well with young adults but have successfully treated people up into 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. This means I lean into the approaches I feel best suits my client. In our first session, we will work to develop the 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 maintaining 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. 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.
