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. You will be able to know and feel that I am on your side. I view this as a collaborative process, and I am committed to partnering with you to achieve your goals and to feel empowered.
I view the mind-body connection as imperative in the deeper work. By understanding your nervous system patterns, we can learn what is most supportive for you as an individual. I use somatic approaches to help deepen this awareness and connection.
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.
