About My Clients
People I work with often feel guilty about reaching out for support. They feel like they should be able to manage. Maybe they have been the pillars of support for their loved ones and friends. They are the type of person who is often described as "being so strong". However, something is different. They are tired of feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, lost, or lonely and are ready to peel back the layers and work through their challenges in hopes of gaining some balance and fulfillment.
My Background and Approach
My therapeutic style is positive and empathetic but my mission is to challenge you to find the strength and tools within yourself. I have knowledge and experience using a variety of evidenced-based theoretic approaches including IFS, Person-Centered, EMDR, CBT, and Mindfulness; which allows me to individualize my approach to your needs. Every person is different and there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to therapy. I offer in-person and virtual options but my favorite mode is using walk-and-talk therapy. Sitting face to face, whether in an office or virtually, is not for everyone and sometimes even leads to people moving away from therapy. Walking next to each other, side by side can feel less formal and less intense. In addition, the act of walking and moving forward can act as a powerful catalyst for personal change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am very passionate about what I do not only because I find it extremely rewarding but because I am not immune to life's challenges. I have learned, from both personal and professional experiences, that when someone decides to peel back the layers and work through pain or is ready to take some steps toward change, it could open up the door to hope and fulfillment. I also understand that it is not easy and that results don't always happen fast. My philosophy is "baby steps". As long as you are moving forward with the goals you have in therapy, you are winning the battle. Sometimes that means you move very slowly but growth happens even at snail pace speed.
