About My Clients
Everyone reaches out for therapy for different reasons. At the end of the day we all want to feel seen, accepted and understood. I work to create a safe and accepting space where clients feel seen and understood and through that space they begin to see and accept themselves in ways that foster growth and wholeness. I work with clients with anxiety, panic, stress, low self-esteem, emotional challenges, trauma, and other life challenges to build self acceptance and whole-hearted transformations.
My Background and Approach
My clinical approach integrates psychodynamic theories, evidenced-based treatments, and mindfulness practices to create a warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental and compassionate space to support inner growth and healing. My background in mindfulness, meditation and yoga allows us to tap into the present moment and our bodies, to find stillness and insight. I also use EMDR with clients and much of my practice in informed by the EMDR modality. My experiences working in schools, residential programs, psychiatric hospitals, college counseling centers, and outpatient clinics have equipped me with skills to work with a wide range of clients and meet each person where they are at on their journey.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that every human has innate wisdom inside of them. Sometimes it can become challenging to access that wisdom due to stress, anxiety, and the mental clutter of life. I believe that my role as a therapist is to help clear the path to reconnect and listen to what is already there. I work collaboratively with each client to bring a sense of curiosity, nonjudgmental awareness and kindness to thought patterns and behaviors, and through that awareness foster change. My trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches draw upon the therapeutic relationship to foster resilience and courage.
