Therapy is a gift to give yourself. I have a background in client centered therapy with an education in DBT, IFS and positive strengths theory. Most important, I work in helping you to feel safe, heard and directed to being your best self. I work in helping you to reach your goals and to address what gets in the way.
I provide my clients compassion, reflective listening and tools to assist them in addressing anxious symptoms, depressive thoughts and/or self sabotaging behavior. I believe each person has access to the truth within themselves I work in helping you to learn to access the benevolent kind voice that believes in you no matter what.
Our first session focuses on your history, the challenges that you have experienced that impacted your life; the wins and seemingly losses you sustained. I learn about the major players in your life and the impact they had/have on you. From here we work together to create reachable goals and a treatment plan. You may need a safe place to unpack your fears, or guidance in how to develop your self esteem or deal with a difficult relationship. The goal is not to have any problems, rather we work to help you build inner trust and learn tools to see tough times as opportunities for growth and to develop acceptance, serenity, confidence, and hope.
