My Approach to Helping
I help clients get from where they are - to where they want to be. In my practice I work with women of all ages navigating everyday life, relationships, anxiety, and trauma. I also support parents with psychoeducation, coaching, and therapeutic work.
Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist
The client-therapist relationship is one of the most important predictors of therapeutic outcomes. We don't know if we're a match until we connect. We spend our first sessions with me supporting you to comfortably explore your needs and our connection - making sure I have the skills to support you, and we have the connection that makes us a great match.
How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
Adoption is a part of my family's story. It is an honor for me to work with families touched by adoption. I support parents experiencing infertility & considering adoption, adopting a baby or child, working with attachment & family dynamics, building cultural competency, and navigating the ups and downs of parenting their adopted child.
My View on the Nature of 'Disorders'
I'm a strengths-based and needs based therapist. There's nothing wrong with us when we enter therapy - we're just not going about meeting our needs in the best way, or there's a mixup in our minds about what something means. I help clients to use their own values and gifts to navigate meeting their needs and understanding the things that make them feel most stuck.
