About My Clients
Experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, or any issue that impacts our well-being can feel like an unconquerable battle. However painful or challenging your circumstances may be, in this moment of seeking help, there is hope. Through building awareness, practicing mindfulness, challenging outgrown patterns of thinking & doing, and increasing positive experiences/emotions, we can connect, heal, and grow.
My Background and Approach
Our work together, whether short-term or ongoing, will be guided by your goals. I will be here to help unpack any emotional weight you've been carrying, teach coping skills, and empower you to harness the strength you already have. I approach therapy using EMDR, CBT, DBT, MBSR, and Positive Psychology methodologies and stay up to date on new research and techniques. Finding a therapist that is a good fit can be a daunting and stressful process. I have been told by countless loved ones who have gone to therapy but felt too nervous or guilty to give feedback to their therapist. When working with me I like to "check in" and see how you are experiencing therapy. It's important that you feel comfortable, safe, and see some type of growth or progress over time. If not, we can discuss any barriers and I can help you find a therapist that suits you better.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My private practice name is Connection Mental Health Counseling because I believe in connection. As disconnection can be a source of pain and suffering, building connections can be our path to healing. Therapy is a space to reconnect to ourselves and to other beings, to find connections in our day-to-day moments, and connection to a greater purpose. To merge our shared humanity and the natural world, I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes by astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, "We are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us."
