I am a mediator, translator, and witness. I can help clients rewrite their narratives, fostering growth and healing. I attend workshops, read, and learn from my clients to stay atop of the latest information and cultural norms. I feel therapy is an art—an improvisational dance where you and your clients co-create meaning. Together we will teach you to hold space for transformation and healing.
In a first session, I would hope to join and teach you how to navigate the therapeutic process. We will go over paperwork, expectations, and your personal goals. Eventually, I hope therapy feels as comfortable as eating pizza in your sweatpants! (I'll do the science in the background).
I have nearly a decade of experience working with all kinds of families and individuals in several states. I have been featured on a national podcast about my own experience and my take on trauma and social justice in the world today. I am very personable and real (despite the screen) so each client leaves knowing that they matter.
With just 1-2 sessions at no extra cost, this treatment can really help shake out some self-beliefs that get stuck in our minds as "truth". Ex: "I am unlovable" or "I am unworthy". Shaking up these beliefs can really help us through therapy as we explore new explanations for who we are and what defines us- rather than playing that same 'ol worn out trauma-broken record.
With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we aim to restructure and reframe your self-identified unhelpful ways of thinking. Sometimes, it can be very difficult to get around a thought that seems to hold you back. With exposure and guided discovery, together, we will find ways to expand those neural connections in your brain- creating new opportunities for your mind to open it's doors and let in ideas that are more helpful to creating the life you love waking up to.
Simply put- this is a business, and you don't want to be in therapy for your whole life, do ya? Every session, I aim to find a take away or some resolution to the problem so that you are increasingly more prepared to leave the treatment room and live life without the metaphorical "training wheels" again.
