“You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” A.A. Milne My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, untangle difficult patterns, and feel truly heard.Therapy is a collaborative journey of exploring these experiences that have shaped your life, identifying areas that need attention, and developing a deeper connection to your personal truth.
Do you ever feel like you're in a boat with no oars? I'm here to help. Based on your needs and your goals, we can make our own oars that work for your life.
First session
After our first session, I hope you feel supported and heard. Sometimes, a first session can feel more administrative as I ask question and collect information. However, I hope for you to feel that I collected important information so we can build a plan together that focuses on your goals and how to limit the barriers that may have stood in your way.
Strengths
My strengths include my authenticity. I really want to help and truly listen so I can understand what's going on and how it's getting in the way of your happiness. I believe it's important to meet you where you are and reach the goals that you want. And if you aren't sure yet, that's where we can start. Life can be hard and always feels better to know you have someone at your side. If you are feeling like you must change how you are living or asking yourself why your relationship is falling apart, we can start there. Perhaps you can't sleep, are feeling depressed and crying all the time or worrying about so many different things in your life and your not sure what to do or where to turn. We can start there, and when you turn, that's where I will be. At your side. My treatment style is a blend of CBT, Attachment Theory, Schematic Therapy and Mindfulness. These therapy styles compliment each other for a well rounded treatment approach finding balance within the mind, body, and spirit. The main issues I treat are anxiety, depression, and trauma. It's equally important to focus on alleviating.symptoms while strengthening.your coping tools to enhance your well-being and happiness.
Ideal clients
There is no ideal or cookie cutter client. We all have our moments in life where we may benefit from a helping hand. It's never going to look the same. However, the ideal trait that is helpful in working with each other is an openness to build trust and communicate about our life, the good the bad and he ugly as they say. That's where progress is seen and goals are met.
Origin story
Funny story. My mom used to get her acrylic nails done at the mall and being so bored for that hour, I would always go to the book store. First book I read about helping others. Someone else's kids by Torey Hayden. I knew then I wanted to be like her and help others. Being 12, I wasn't quite sure how to get there or really what it meant. So I started my path to become a teacher. Well, working with at-risk youth at an alternative h.s., I found myself spending more time with the students on emotional issues then their classwork. I knew then that I needed to switch my path. So, I returned to school hearing MSW. Before long, I was working with the same type of youth and their families. I branched out and received more training working with more then teens. I was working with men, women, and elderly and loved it. After 20 years with the county, I decided to start offering telehealth and build my own practice. A couple years later and now I'm here. So, that's me and I'm looking forward to meeting you.
Ongoing work together
Ongoing work with me changes. Or doesn't. Depending on what your needs are impacts the style of our sessions. Admittedly, I can be eclectic and creative. I maintain a style that is open to new ideas and using old ideas in new ways. If traditional skills is what we find more helpful, or trying something new, I keep doors open and available for differing skills and tools to use or practice. I don't pretend to know everything or specifically what you should do. We are all different and have varying perspectives. I bring to the table information that I have learned in my schooling and career. I feel it is important to share with you so you have the chance to make the final decision in what's important or helpful for you with the information I shared. That's how we move forward. If progress isn't happening, we shift paths until it does. But not too soon, it's important to give it a good try first. But not to keep doing what isn't working. The bottom line is to help you make progress in meeting your goals.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is my cornerstone. I use it with schematic therapy when h helpful to understand how our core beliefs of ourselves, others and the world is causing us barriers to our full selves. It blends well with understanding attachment issues that may have planted those maladaptive core beliefs early on in our lives. CBT is a great method used for various trauma focus and lends well to mindfulness and motivation therapy. I use the structure to stay grounded in practice and change the focus as needed based on your needs and goals.
