Behind the scenes of my therapy approach:
I work from a core belief that you are the master of your experiences. I value the intuitive truth you hold to create meaningful change in your life. If accessing that wisdom feels too out of reach right now, I will happily help to guide you towards self-understanding. I enjoy using a collaborative approach that is centered on working together. I want to be a therapist that helps you to discover what you need and how to achieve it wholeheartedly. I draw from a strengths-focused approach, with elements from cognitive-behavioral therapy and attachment-based theories.
We might work well together if:
If you want someone who is direct, will challenge you, and who isn't afraid to be fully human in our space (i.e. I promise not to act like a reaffirming robot!), I could be the therapist for you. I can be quite animated, often found sipping coffee during therapy sessions, and never going to shut you down if all you need during a session is to tell me the latest gossip! Most importantly, we could work great together if you believe in the power of keeping it real, and for me, that includes building a genuine relationship with you.
My space is flexible and relaxed
If you ever need to color, fidget, or make breakfast during our telehealth sessions, please do so! I want to meet you where you are, just as you are. Life never fails to remain busy, and therapy can be difficult to schedule, so I'm honored to hold space in whatever way works best for you. As long as you show up for yourself, I'll be right there with you.
