Down to earth, big sister type. If you want to go deep to fix the problem at the root, I’m your girl.
Usually, the things that get in the way of our mental health fall into two main categories. The first are the unhelpful stories we tell ourselves—beliefs about who we are or how others see us—that formed when we didn’t have the support we needed during tough times. The second is feeling emotionally overwhelmed, which can make us react on autopilot instead of responding with care or thought. Therapy is about noticing these patterns and finding new ways to approach them—with more understanding, support, and creativity—so we can shift those beliefs and handle stress more calmly.
I love noticing what makes someone unique and reminding them of who they are when they need it. In addition, I’m a puzzle solver- so bring on all your complex, interlocking symptoms!
I’ve been most extensively trained in Gestalt therapy and love using weird exercises where you talk to yourself and name your inner critic. However my education included many different ways of working, ranging from traditional to experimental, that I draw from regularly. Personalizing my approach to each client is important, because I believe in finding openings for organic change rather than trying to force it.
I like to explore both where you’ve come from and what’s happening for you right now—how your past still shows up in your thoughts, emotions, and body. Together, we’ll create a comfortable space where you can open up and experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.
The goal is to help you feel more flexible and free in how you respond to life, more connected to what really matters to you, and more accepting of the parts of yourself that you’ve struggled to embrace.
