About My Clients
I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and managing grief. I work with adults, and couples looking to increase their sense of self and feel more comfortable sitting with difficult emotions without judgement. I support people and couples of all backgrounds and it is important to me that each person involved feels safe, supported, and accepted.
My Background and Approach
I create a safe space for self-reflection and help clients navigate difficult emotions and life stressors through a tailored approach that honors each individual's unique experience. Through a person-centered and multicultural focus, I use authenticity, mindfulness, and a sense of humor to create a compassionate and effective therapeutic experience. Sessions may look like: exploring past wounds from childhood, family, institutions and systems and how they impact the way you view your self and act in relationships, finding patterns in your life that seek to fulfill certain needs and potential alternative approaches to meet those needs, learning ways to feel more connected with your internal world as you feel more capable sitting with difficult emotions through non-judgemental acceptance. Specific theories I utilize include: Mindfulness and trauma-informed CBT, DBT, ACT, Narrative theories, Humanistic/Existential theories, Attachment Theory, Gottman Sound House Relationship Theory
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My belief is that we are who and what we’ve experienced in our lives, and this forms how we view ourselves and our world. Therapy can be an opportunity to both accept our experiences and grow into a more authentic version of ourselves. I find that my approach is relationship-centered through engaging humor, patience, and acceptance. I understand that seeking therapy can feel daunting, but it can also be a place of hope and discovery. In session, you may find yourself laughing, crying, reflecting or all of the above. I aim to provide a warm, accepting environment where you can explore your feelings without judgment. My goal for you is to feel understood. At the center of our work is our relationship that we build together. Because of this, I understand the importance of finding a counselor that feels like the right fit.
