About My Clients
You’ve had ups & downs, successes & failures, you’ve gotten up when you’ve fallen & you’ve carried on. But now, you’ve hit the point where you don’t want to keep reaching for the next thing, keep pushing those thoughts & feelings away, you want to transform parts of yourself & experience something different, to find a sense of wholeness. Whatever it is, there’s hope for something more, something better. I like to imagine our lives as beautiful mosaics crafted from all those broken pieces.
My Background and Approach
I believe that therapy is a relational & collaborative experience. I will work hard to understand your struggles & help you find a way through them. I can promise this because I have been where you are & have wanted to give up. But I didn’t. You are worth the investment in yourself. I’ve walked beside others as they explored hard places: as a friend, a mentor, a parent, a therapist… I’ve done it with adults exploring sexuality, sorting out faith systems, putting the pieces of life back together, who have given up, & more. Good therapy involves COURAGE, COMPASSION & CONNECTION. It may mean small tweaks or a deep dive. I work from a cognitive side (talk therapy) & emotional side (using approaches geared toward processing what is stored in your emotional brain.) These facilitate deeper emotional healing. I’m here to support you, hear you, help untangle your experiences, assist you in understanding yourself & work together towards fostering hope & healing. Together, we can do this!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have been a therapist since 2010 but supporting others came before that. Why? Because that is what we do. We come together & face the world with someone by our side. I view life as a continuous journey & discovery process. It takes courage to give therapy a try. Investing in yourself is always worth it- for yourself, for others & for the world. Be gentle & kind to yourself. It’s a sign of strength. Our culture tells us that strength comes from doing it all on your own but that’s not true. We need each other. I believe in being human & connecting to others as humans. Relationship is where trust & safety are built. From there, growth is possible. I draw strength & perspective from the sky, the mountains, the water, the trees. All those things that are bigger than me. I believe in working from a bigger perspective & seeing all sides of a person. I believe we are all endeavoring to feel safe in the world.
