Hi! I'm so glad you are here to learn a bit more about me. Picking the right therapist is such an important decision and I want you to feel confident you've found a great match. One of my biggest priorities is to make therapy feel good for people. I know that for many, therapy can seem awkward or uncomfortable. I'm trying my best to change that narrative by allowing our time together to be relaxed and a space where you feel like an equal. I want you to feel seen and understood anytime we work together. My specialty is helping those who have experienced truly difficult seasons in life find three main things: self-awareness, balance and peace. This often includes working with those who have had tough childhood experiences, first responders, relationship issues (divorce, abuse, infidelity, etc.), sexual assault victims, and parents with postpartum anxiety and/or depression. In our sessions together we will focus on getting to know your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We will identify where the problem spots are, and collaborate in creating strategies you can use to feel more balanced in your day-to-day life. We can also explore memories and past experiences, understanding how these affect your present. Ultimately, our work can help you to find peace with the past, contentment with your present and enthusiasm for the future.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The process usually begins by being asked a lot of questions, which allows me to get a detailed picture of your daily life and background. We will also dive into what's going well in your life right now and what's not feeling great. During this assessment phase, we will pinpoint your goals and the ways in which we can achieve those goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my biggest strengths is providing support and guidance to those who are new to therapy and don't have a lot of practice prioritizing mental health. Many of my clients over the years come from environments where therapy is not the norm and emotions weren't normally discussed. I love having the privilege to work with these specific individuals who are taking the first steps to change generational cycles and are in search of the tools to make lasting changes.
