Hi, I'm Celeste! I am passionate about helping people live a happier life- whether that means learning how to better manage anxiety, working through traumas, or developing a kinder inner monologue. I believe in order to make any changes, we must first understand how we got here. That is why I place a big emphasis on insight and help you understand how you got where you are, why it makes sense, and how we can change it. I love mixing and matching approaches to best suit your individual needs. I often use psychodynamic theory, which looks at the subconscious and Cognitive Behavioral Theory, which looks at the interaction between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I also focus on somatics, or the body. In our work together we will explore the signals your body is sending you and how to regulate them. I believe the most important thing in our time together is that you feel heard, seen, and supported. I view it as an honor to guide a client back to themselves and assist in building a more fulfilling and enjoyable life!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the beginning of our work, we will focus on current areas of concern alongside getting information on your past. We will explore behaviors and the purpose they serve. We will work together to create change and to build a stronger and kinder relationship to yourself.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use Psychodynamic theory to understand your past and how it is currently impacting you. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to understand how your thoughts are impacting your feelings, sense of self, and behaviors. I use mindfulness to rebuild the connection between you and your body.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is teaching how to challenge the anxious or critical voice that we all have, to create lasting change in your life.
