What would it look like for you to live your life authentically, meaningfully and free? Together, we can find out. We may explore how your family system and trauma adaptations are getting in the way of your ability to manage moods and set boundaries with others. Or maybe you’ve had experiences where you question your self-worth, asking yourself, “Am I good enough? Am I enough?” We may explore where these beliefs and expectations come from, and how to establish self-compassion. Or maybe you’re finding it challenging to regulate your emotions, so we may discover ways to self-regulate and become more grounded in the present. I offer a warm, integrative approach to counseling that is client directed; this is your space to practice being empowered in your own growth. Together, we’ll collaborate to identify areas of concern, and uncover what is getting in the way of your ability to feel content and free from the confines of social pressures, internal critiques and relational woes. We can empower you to change family legacies, accept and process pain, utilize healthier perspectives, create boundaries, move past the limitations of trauma, and practice self-acceptance to create an authentic life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we'll go over general information regarding confidentiality, cancellation policies, and begin to dive into what you're looking for from therapy. We'll start the intake process which is where I'll ask some open ended questions regarding your present needs, historical experiences, relationships, and symptomology. I take my time with the intake process, so I can gain a better understanding of your unique experience.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I often like to highlight how individuals are shaped by their family systems and experiences within their lives. Gaining insights into these experiences helps us recognize what we'd like to remain and what we'd like to change. Roles and interactions are important to explore as we can better understand how you interact with others and yourself. We can create healthier, realistic small steps to build long-term, sustainable progress when managing mental health needs.
