My Approach to Helping
If you are feeling the effects of loss, anxiety, illness, or relationship issues, know that you are not alone. There is help and hope. Whether adjusting to life transitions, navigating grief and loss, addressing trauma (old or new), or looking for better ways to handle stress, anxiety, perfectionism, or depression, seeking out a therapist is a brave first step. Changes, such as those caused by illness in yourself or others, moving to a new city, or family changes like divorce or blending lives, can bring up a lot of emotions. It can make you feel sad, overwhelmed, angry, hurt, confused, lost, and a myriad of other emotions. Processing all the feelings associated with loss or a life transition in a safe place can be extremely beneficial. Together, we'll collaborate to identify the source of your unwanted symptoms and work towards healing. You deserve to slow down, show up, break down old harmful patterns, and rebuild new ones. This is the place to do it. I want to really get to know you: your struggles and strengths, so that together we can help you create lasting change. I have worked with a wide variety of clients in a number of settings, including hospice, community mental health, medical clinics, private practice, and universities. This has allowed me to gain experience in both a solution-focused (let's get these symptoms managed!) and a deeper-focused (where did these symptoms come from and how can we create lasting change?) way. My approach is transparent and genuine with a good dose of appropriate humor. Please feel free to explore my website, call, or email me, to see if we might be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
