I am an attachment-based therapist who works from a relational style. I support adolescents and adults in addressing life challenges. I work from a holistic approach that respects spirituality. I am a culturally sensitive therapist with experience working with a wide variety of issues that include anxiety, grief & loss, and trauma. I utilize psychodynamic and eclectic modalities that include EMDR. My approach is grounded in compassion and relationship with the goal for each person to feel seen, heard, and empowered to make meaningful change. I believe in creating a safe place to explore emotions, thoughts, and gain a greater sense of self-worth. My goal is to help clients utilize their strengths, gain insight, and move toward a path of healing and growth.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session I'll work to create a good therapeutic relationship. We will work together to complete a thorough assessment that will him me understand your history and the reason(s) that bring you into therapy. You'll have the opportunity to ask me questions as well as identify specific goals that you would like to focus on in upcoming sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My training and lived experience has enabled me to greatly understand the condition of human suffering. My values, ethics, and spirituality inform my clinical practice. My therapeutic approach is relational. I like to identify and work with the strengths of my clients. I utilize eclectic approaches that include EMDR and psychodynamic strategies.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adolescents and adults who have a hunger for change but simply lack the tools to make these goals a reality. My clients are willing to engage in the hard work of looking through the mirror within the therapeutic process. They recognize and acknowledge where they are and are willing to journey towards new ways of thinking and relating to themselves and others.
Eclectic
I provide person-centered care that integrates approaches that are relational and supportive to fit the unique needs of the client. I work from an attachment based frame and utilize EMDR, somatic, cognitive, and psychodynamic approaches within my clinical work.
