My Approach to Helping
My ideal client is an individual motivated to begin considering and making changes they’d like to see in their lives. I work to empower couples and individuals to live the relationships they want to have. Specifically, I enjoy coaching couples in learning and practicing communication techniques and in understanding each other’s unique perspective of the world. I have experience working with individuals who have experienced various types of traumatic events, including developmental and complex traumas, with several therapeutic modalities, including trauma focused therapeutic approaches, brain spotting, and motivational interviewing.
These approaches assist in working through the effects of the traumatic events, assisting in reinforcing the brainbody connection, processing and changing actions through reflecting on thought patterns preceding the behaviors, and clarifying your unique strengths to facilitate personal change.
I find my clients appreciate my direct approach, my understanding of gender norms within our society, and my sense of humor. As a therapist, I support clients in exploring challenges, in addition to providing guidance and perspective to aid in life-altering change.
