Do you ever feel stuck and don't know what to do? Does the thought of getting out of bed or completing a task feel so overwhelming that you'd rather just go back to bed and not think about it? It can be hard to carry on with the day to day activities that life brings us when we struggle with the stress, anxiety and overwhelming feelings around it. I enjoy working with clients to find the joy in life. I will listen to you, understand where you are coming from, and gently encourage you to move toward your goals. I will call you out on repetitive patterns that are getting you no where, and help brainstorm some ways of getting you out of that funk. You've done it your way, now let's work together to find a new way!
In our first session, we'll begin with quick introductions and continue on to the intake/assessment. The assessment process is usually the Q&A portion, where I gather more information about what brings you to session. We will talk about what you're experiencing, what you're expectations are in therapy, and what goals you'd like to accomplish during our time together. This will give me the insight I need to develop a customized plan for our future sessions.
It's easy for me to connect with others on a deeper level. I'm not afraid of the "icky" stuff and will happily be your biggest cheerleader. We can navigate this journey together.
I love working with teens and adults who may or may not have the adequate tools in their toolbox to navigate life's twists and turns. They would be motivated and open to learning different coping strategies, comfortable in trying new things, and meet fairly consistently until we get to a good and solid space.
I've been trained in multiple evidence-based practices and will use a customized approach depending on the needs of the client.
