I am available on evenings to make therapy work for your schedule whether you just got home from work, just put your kids to bed, or simply are ready to begin focusing on you - log on from any device and begin gaining support. My goal is to make therapy easy and accessible so I can help individuals find treatment that supports them
First session
Together, we will explore difficult emotions, past experiences, and current struggles, all while feeling grounded and accepted. My goal is to help you build resilience, confidence, uncover insights and create a deeper connection to you. Through conversations we will help you identify how you feel and be able to confidently acknowledge what you need to transition through life.
Strengths
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people all with unique challenges and strengths. This experience has deepened my understanding of human diversity and strengthened my ability to adapt therapy to each person’s specific needs. Through my work, I have gained understanding on the importance of safety whether in relationships with ourself, our partners, our friends, our children, work or the greater community. My hope is to enhance that feeling of safety and create an environment where you can let your guard down, feel comfortable and focus on you. An environment where you can be your true self.
Ideal clients
Ever felt that you needed to shift yourself to meet the expectations of others? Felt that your emotions were too much? Led by the desire to make others around you feel comfortable even if you felt discomfort? Find yourself entering the world with a to do list of how to act “not anxious”, how to act “normal”, how to act based off what others expect? Does this make you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected from your authentic self? Does this create challenges in relationships, make you question your value, or feel guilt when you insert your needs? Ready to feel seen, heard, valued and empowered to be you? If so, let’s chat.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Ten years of using treatment in practice to reframe thoughts, explore how thoughts connect to feelings, and build skills to support thoughts. I implement CBT approaches to support connecting the dots and building insights into this automatic reactions.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Utilize to process emotions, explore, increase mindfulness and acknowledge feelings experienced. For those who jump to quickly into fix it mode - make this feeling go away now - I use ACT therapy to process through this need to solve and explore how sometimes trying to fix everything can often make us feel more anxious, overwhelmed and depressed.
