My Approach to Helping
I deeply believe in the power of therapy and that real change can happen at any stage in life. When you are met with support, compassion, and attunement, old wounds can begin to heal. I always invite honoring the authentic self, even when life gets messy and feelings are painful.
I know the value of providing a warm and inviting space where you feel seen and heard. Therapy can be that safe space for you to explore what you've been holding inside, especially if it can be hard for you to open up. So often in life and relationships, people are not receiving the validation that all humans need. You will be able to know and to feel that I am on your side and here for you. I view this as a collaborative process, and I am committed to partnering with you to achieve your goals and empower you to live your best life.
My philosophy with therapy is that people are not their diagnoses or traumas. People need perspective, compassion, kindness, and depth they often don't receive in their daily lives. Therapy can help from the start to provide some of those unmet needs. Therapy can be hard work at times and is also one of the best gifts you can give yourself.
People and their stories are complex, and there is no one mold that fits all. Clients who get the most out of therapy with me are often motivated, curious, and sensitive individuals who have a strong desire to work on their personal growth. I use a very individualized approach to best support your needs.
