My Approach to Helping
Asking for help isn’t easy. Especially, if you struggle with people pleasing tendencies, have been told you are "too nice", or tend to overthink or be hard on yourself. I get it and want to help you feel the freedom to be your authentic self without fear of judgement. Because of this, I have received specialized training in trauma, anxiety, and attachment or relationship issues. I also like to incorporate somatic work to help you find balance with your nervous system or "fight, flight, freeze, or fawn" response. I have successfully helped others with trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, self-esteem, and PMDD and would be honored to help you. My style is relational and I believe therapy should feel like sitting with a trusted confidant who will listen to your struggles without judgement. I value creating a safe space and am particularly passionate about the relationship between women's hormonal health and mental health, which is why I specialize in treating PMDD or Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. I provide individual counseling but have several counseling interns that provide individual, couple, and family counseling at discounted rate of $50 a session. This is a great option to receive the same client care with me overseeing your case, while with an intern who is in the midst of learning the newest treatments and modalities. We are here for you!
