(she/her)
I am an experienced psychotherapist, over 10 years, who has worked in multiple levels of care from outpatient to in patient services and residential treatment for co-occurring disorders. I have worked with adults who find themselves struggling with myriad concerns and who are attempting to make changes that help to benefit themselves first, and then within the context of their relationships. Ultimately, these changes will allow for a healthier lifestyle, improved relationships and an increased sense of self.
Likely we will spend the first session getting to know one another, recognizing the why now aspect of seeking support and confirm basic goals to move forward that are based on the individual's identified needs. I will explain how I practice and answer any questions that will allow one to feel more comfortable and confident to collaboratively move forward.
I am honest, genuine, compassionate and kind. These are my principles in life whether personally or professionally. I am happy to pivot as necessary and will reflect what I see and hear in a curious and non judgmental way. I have found that by moving towards a more authentic life (where your insides match your outside) with integrity is the greatest relief for all humans. We are in this together, and I consider it a privilege to hold the space for change and healing.
As a licensed professional and parent, I have both personal and professional experience helping others to understand their internal and external struggles. By allowing people to be themselves in the comfort of my care, I will honor and gently challenge, when appropriate, the sentiment and meanings behind the challenges and conflict that one is experiencing. Together we can also identify what is going well in one's life from a strength based and person centered perspective that will reinforce the aspects of your life that you wish to maintain and enhance.
