About My Clients
I help mothers & daughters learn how to live more fulfilled lives (individually and/or together) by understanding the root cause(s) of the mother/daughter tension, challenging destructive generational patterns, and developing strategies to be heard & supported in all relationships. When clients come to me they often feel angry & unsupported, they have a hard time focusing, and lack mental clarity & energy.
My Background and Approach
My counseling practice is hugely centered around Psychoanalytic Therapy because I believe it’s important for my clients to understand how much unresolved issues, trauma, and experiences from their past can have a huge effect on their present life because they can cause depression, anxiety, inability to handle conflict, and more. Additionally, I integrate Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) throughout the counseling process. I have attended trainings to teach relevant techniques about overcoming trauma. My goal is for you to develop and walk away from counseling with a tool box full of skills that you can carry with you at all times. Counseling begins with us understanding your presenting concerns and using that to dive deeper into your past to identify patterns of behavior.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The work I do is important to me because of my childhood trauma. I encountered depression, anxiety, constant feelings of isolation, and feeling that no one, even those closest to me, truly understood me. The isolation made me feel unmotivated to socialize and complete my daily tasks. Making the step to heal helped me be more persistent and confident about speaking up about my problems to ensure I was voicing my true thoughts so I could express & not suppress my feelings, which not only helped me feel better, but my voice allowed other people to understand my perspective.
