My Approach to Helping
Thank you for being here and taking this next step into therapy. My job is to remind you to live in the present and make your future what you want it to be.
“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.” -Søren Kierkegaard
“This journey has to start at the only place it can- where you are right now. Step into this moment and radically accept where you are right now as being the absolute perfect place you are meant to be” -Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.
I work with children, adolescents, or adults, with social andor generalized anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, stress management, relationship issues, anger management, life transitions, burnout, and self-care.
I use many approaches to therapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help navigate your emotional and behavioral challenges effectively by analyzing unwanted thought patterns and turning them into positive aspects. In addition to CBT, I incorporate elements of art and play therapy, to create a holistic and creative therapeutic environment. I would include spiritual practices in my sessions if desired by allowing you as my client to be your own expert in therapy through transpersonal exploration. This incorporates nature with mind and body connections. I use evidence-based techniques to explore emotions and look at our connection with the world. I aim to empower individuals to overcome challenges, discover inner strengths, and lead fulfilling lives.
