About My Clients
Becoming a mother is taking on a new identity. This can sometimes mean feeling as though you lose parts of yourself in the process. We will work together to uncover and reestablish those pieces to help you feel whole again. From pregnancy to postpartum, the experience for some of us isn’t always easy or happy or “as it should be.” There’s no shame in seeking out help; in fact, it’s your first lesson in parenting: it really does take a village and we have to ask for help when we need it.
My Background and Approach
I am not the stereotypical therapist pictured in movies or television who stares blankly in response to your words and asks “how does that make you feel?” with a pen and paper in hand. Instead, I am engaged and interactive. I will be asking questions because I want to know more about you and what you are going through. My curiosity is genuine and helps you to feel heard when I’m nodding enthusiastically along with your story rather than keeping my eye on the clock. I ask clients to be authentic by showing up with their mess, their pain, their shame and fear. This takes a great deal of vulnerability that I am tremendously respectful of. We work together to move through emotions rather than over them in order to heal yourself and your relationships. Starting therapy is an investment in who you want to become by putting in the work consistently. I cannot promise that this will be an easy process, but I do believe it will be worth it.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have a strong set of values that I bring to each session with my clients. Feel heard without judgment. I provide a space to be yourself without consequence. Our connection matters. I am relationship-forward with all of my clients and bring a human approach to my therapy practice. Create change with grace. I’m comfortable navigating difficult spaces with clients and will encourage you to show empathy for both yourself and others. Laughter is important. I like bringing humor to my practice. I’m not afraid to joke around with my clients and I don’t take myself too seriously.
