About My Clients
I work with clients experiencing anxiety and overwhelm. Perhaps they lack confidence in selves, and in relationships. My clients are brave, and they are willing to look within and explore their motivation for change. In that process, we find the balance between change and acceptance. Often clients are hard on themselves, and my role is to remind them to be kind. We explore ways to live with more contentment and to push through resistance to their true potential and find a deeper peace.
My Background and Approach
My approach as a therapist is conversational in style, relational, and warm. I utilize an eclectic blend of modalities — psychodynamic, behavioral (CBT, DBT), trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), strategies to avoid codependency, and self-sabotage patterns. My professional experience has included the role of a therapist in a psychiatric setting with young adults, an assistant director of social services with older adults, hospice social worker, and an addictive behavioral therapist. I help resolve any conflict, resistance, avoidance, anxiety, and anything that is getting in the way of living a contented life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My belief is that we have a right as humans to self-actualize -- and, as a result, we are better humans and we can be more present, peaceful, and of service to others. If you are experiencing stress, a challenging life transition, overwhelm, anger, loneliness, addiction, relationship conflicts or caregiving issues, I can help. Or perhaps you struggle with prioritizing your needs and yourself. With professional experience that spans 30 years, it is this role as a therapist that blends all of my experiences together beautifully to serve the needs of my clients. Therapy is life-changing, and I am deeply honored to serve in this profession. Feel free to connect for a complimentary consultation so we can assess fit.
