About My Clients
My ideal clients are ready and willing to turn inward - to look at themselves and the role they are playing in the issues they have. The good news is that when you see your role, you can change it. The two common threads that arise again and again within my therapy office are self worth and boundaries. Everything boils down to the reasons we don't have healthy self worth and boundaries. Allow me to help you find out why you struggle.
My Background and Approach
I have been practicing for 17+ yrs and am always looking to grow and improve. Human beings are biologically wired for connection. This means connection to ourselves and those around us. I draw from different modalities to facilitate growth and change. Relational Life Therapy assisted me to see power dynamics and assist clients to shift out of them into a lifestyle based on equality and personal worth. Interpersonal Neurobiology taught me (and continues to) about biological brain wiring - how/why we end up in survival mode when we don't always want to, and how to shift out of that and gain that connection you are craving. I am gently confrontational; I will call you out. My clients have voiced appreciation for this. I don't have a "poker face" and you will always know what I am thinking. I enjoy helping clients get to the root of the issue - what is causing you to think/feel/behave this way. And then we dig into the work of resolving it in healthy ways.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can grow and change at any time in their lives, as long as there is reason/motivation to do so. Most negative behaviors in adulthood do stem from learned behaviors that served us well at some point earlier in our lives - these same behaviors simply end up hurting us currently and we need to identify them and then work to change them. The work can be hard, and often is - because we’re humans, working on relationships with other humans, in real life. Sometimes that’s messy. And it’s so worth it. Because you know what? The work you do on your relationship is just one part of a bigger picture. Everything we are and everything we do comes back to our relationship with ourselves, which informs our relationships with the people around us, and gives us the foundation to do the work we’re meant to do. And it just so happens that when you address these things, change happens. And that change will ripple into every relationship you have.
