My approach to therapy is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, develop self compassion, and build tools to navigate life's challenges. I believe in a person-centered approach and treating everyone with respect, kindness and compassion. Together, we will explore your experiences, uncover patterns, and work together to create meaningful change. My sessions are 100% tele-health, offering flexible scheduling to meet your needs.
During our first session, we will get to know each other a little bit more. I will ask a lot of questions in order to better understand your history and current struggles. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions of myself during this time.
Therapy with me is an active process. Sometimes we will challenge unhelpful thoughts. Sometimes we will sit in reflection, and sometimes we'll focus on small actionable steps towards building the life you want for yourself. I engage in a relational approach where I try to meet you where you are at in life's journey. I would love to support you in your journey towards healing and self-discovery.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating life changes, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, depression and other mood challenges, anxiety, and ADHD. My approach is rooted in ACT based interventions, while also incorporating elements of CBT as well as trauma informed perspectives like brain-spotting, IFS and narrative therapy for deeper healing.
I enjoy incorporating this form of therapy as it centers around the clients' values and detachment from harmful thinking patterns. Each client has their own strengths and challenges that they bring to the space and ACT can be a way for us to explore values and what matters to the client.
I find this method to be a great way of exploring past traumas and how to approach ourselves with compassion in place of shame.
I am trained in this specialty and would be happy to discuss more with clients who are interested in this intervention.
CBT has helped clients to challenge anxiety and depression on a practical level. I use CBT in my practice often to help clients identify harmful thoughts and challenge themselves to reframe their perspective.
At my core, I practice a person centered approach. My goal is to tailor my treatment approach to your needs.
