I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. I use a personable, direct approach and will work with you to establish clear goals and a plan to help you work toward a place of grounding and in a place to make small changes over time. I know how at times it can be difficult to establish agency over our lives and feel as if life is just happening to us without any control over the circumstances and difficulty knowing how to cope emotionally.
In our first session, I will work to get to know you and learn what brings you in and what you are hoping to work on. It is helpful to know your past experience with therapists as well and what works/doesn't work for you based on those experiences. In the following session, we can set more concrete goals for sessions moving forward.
Forming genuine connections with clients and helping individuals to feel safe in our space together. I am able to balance being direct and gentle at the same time.
I use a personable approach and strive to be genuine in my interactions with clients in order to create a safe space to facilitate change.
I use an attachment-based approach to support individuals in growing awareness and challenging harmful relationship patterns due to early childhood experiences. In turn, we can work toward improving current relationships and building healthy connections.
I conducted CPT with individuals while working in higher levels of care. For clients looking for a structured, tangible way to process trauma and reduce trauma symptoms, I have found CPT to be extremely helpful.
