My Approach to Helping
I am here to collaborate with you to find the best path forward, whether you're going through a difficult life transition, need to process painful events or trauma, want help managing anxiety or complex emotions, or want to strengthen your relationships with your family, friends, or yourself. Therapy illuminates the patterns we find ourselves in, and also provides ways of coping with the distress resulting from these patterns. Through understanding how our past and present circumstances affect us, we cultivate empathy for ourselves and those around us.
I believe in the healing nature of a strong therapeutic relationship. I will work to facilitate growth in your natural areas of strength, while also deepening your understanding of what causes pain. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and includes relational psychodynamic therapy, trauma-informed, attachment theory, metaphor, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, and/or mindfulness. With children, I utilize play therapy, attachment theory, Mindfulness, as well as behavioral methods. I look forward to hearing from you, and learning about how we can work together!
