Are you struggling with life stressors, feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious? Are you tired of feeling stuck in constant worrying, self-criticism, or relationship difficulties? Do you strive to heal your relationship with food and your body? If you want to work on your well-being, live more fully, and need to develop coping mechanisms and stress management techniques to resolve the issues that hinder you from living the life you envision, I can provide the support you need to accomplish these goals. As your therapist, I will assist in providing insight into your life experiences and its impact on you today and I would love to talk to you about how I can help. I work with young adults and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, body image concerns, perfectionism, identity development, trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, stress management, relationship problems, attachment difficulties, and childhood abuse.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, supportive, and empathic. My objective is to help bring clarity to your goals, learn stress reduction techniques, and help you understand parts of yourself and your life that will ease your suffering. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and will help guide you to increase self-awareness, explore needs, consider alternative perspectives, break counterproductive habits and patterns, and increase personal strengths to have a more meaningful life experience.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I believe that everyone brings their own histories, personalities, and relationships into therapy, which is why I work from various modalities to suit your needs and personality and tailor therapy in an individualized manner. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy, strength-based therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused work. I incorporate mindfulness and compassion into my therapeutic approaches throughout our sessions. My goal is to help you gain insight into your strengths and build upon them, while also being a support of the mind-body connection to promote a healthy well-being.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My style is genuine and warm, and I bring empathy, compassion, and understanding in my sessions to build strong therapeutic relationships in an environment where clients can explore themselves internally. I strive to inspire hope and motivation to get clients to a place of acceptance, wholeness, empowerment, and progress towards therapeutic goals to live a more enriched life. It truly takes courage and strength to seek therapy and I appreciate the opportunity to consider me to be a part of this journey with you.
