About My Clients
I help people explore beliefs and practices related to meaning, purpose, existence, spiritual health, and healing. Some seek support around gender identity and self-expression with or without medical treatments. Most work on creating more satisfying lives with improved relationships to themselves and others. My clients are actively engaged in self-examination and working to transform their lives by improving coping skills then identifying and changing behaviors and thought patterns .
My Background and Approach
Everyone can benefit from having someone to support them as they create a pathway to well-being, knowledge, and understanding in their life and work. You can create a life that is more satisfying through working along side someone who listens to you, encourages, challenges, and guides you as you locate your own authentic voice. I encourage you to be who you want to be in the world with integrity and with a greater understanding of your own values and needs. I ask for you to commit to personal growth, self-reflection, and active participation in changing the ineffective patterns in your own life. I offer the space to identify, understand, and accept your individual values, desires, and patterns without judgement. I support people to move toward radical self-acceptance of and responsibility for their own actions and outcomes in life without excuses or self-condemnation. If you are ready to create the life you want by changing one person (yourself) to make your vision happen, let's talk.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Creating an open and accepting space allows people to process a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. My integrative psychodynamic and relational approach equally focuses on cultivating insight and strengthening coping skills. I believe that developing mindful practices can help people to remain grounded in daily life and in moments of distress. I gently guide clients to examine their past in order to identify core beliefs and patterns that affect their lives and inform their existential questions and beliefs. I focus on issues of identity, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. I am passionate about helping people explore issues of spirituality and meaning as they create more satisfying lives. I am particularly skilled at exploring the role of religion in LGBTQ+ people's lives. I help clients address the feelings and beliefs that arise from internalized shaming or rejecting messages from religion and culture to claim what is meaningful to them.
