You’re tired of being the “strong one.” At home, on the job, and even among your friends, you’re the one everyone calls when they need a solution. You’re so good at supporting others that no one knows you’re secretly falling apart – no one asks. Maintaining this image is exhausting, but you barely have time to notice the emotions. You bury your feelings with more work, so no one ever sees the real you. Ironically, the one person you never show up for is you. You’re an expert at meeting expectations, but it’s time you started taking care of yourself. It’s been so long. You’re not sure you remember how. I’ve been where you are. So, I dedicated my practice to supporting powerful women like us. Using techniques grounded in neuroscience, we’ll gain insight into your experience and where change is needed. We’ll release the old mindsets and replace them with supportive practices. You’ll learn how to prioritize your needs while setting healthy boundaries. Feel the peace and freedom that comes from knowing you don’t have to hold everything together on your own anymore. I’m here to support you. Experience your authentic self in all your strength and vulnerability. Don’t put off your needs another day. The life you’ve been craving needs all of you in it!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Client will be greeted warmly. While I am ready to give you space to share what you would like, I also know how to get started if you are not sure how. During this initial session, I am seeking to learn more about you, your concerns, and what your goals for therapy are.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My clinical approach is very spicy if variety is the spice of life. I use a combination of various strategies that resonate with my personal and professional values. Your needs will determine the method I use at any given time. Some of my preferred approaches include client-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive and cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and a strengths-based approach. I also provide some psychoeducation from neuroscience psychology. Lastly, I am a big believer in reflection assignments and assign them if my clients find them to be helpful.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I understand that therapy is both a science and an art. In school and trainings I currently attend, I learned the clinical concepts and skills necessary for therapy, aka the science. However, I feel my true strength is my understanding of the art behind counseling. My down-to-earth way of connecting with you will enable me to establish a level of safety that is crucial for your therapy to work. I will lean on my intuition to guide my work with you, sometimes leaning into uncomfortable areas, other times knowing to stay away. Having over ten years of experience has strengthened this delicate wisdom. I have a lot of experience supporting professional women who struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, and maintaining proper self-care. Let me support you to be the best version of yourself.
