In my own life, I have experienced feeling stuck and unable to access my full self. I went on a journey of self-discovery and was able to recognize what needed to shift for me to fully embrace the challenges I was dealt and lead a productive, joyful life. I am passionate about helping others heal and find themselves again; my hope for my clients is, that after doing deep work, they walk away with a new sense of freedom and empowerment to live their best lives.
I approach my work with clients through a lens of understanding and compassion; there is no judgment or shame in our shared space, and my clients feel heard, seen, and valued. I am here to act as a trusting guide to help you navigate whatever murky waters you are experiencing. In our work together, I will hold space for you and challenge you. I aim to find the balance between cheering you on from the sidelines and coaching you. I will validate your experience and, at the same time, remind you how powerful you are—propelling you forward and encouraging you to take risks and grow. I will hold you accountable with grace and utilize creative modalities to help guide you back to believing in yourself.
The initial session will focus on establishing a strong therapeutic relationship; I want you to feel comfortable, seen, and valued. I also want to get to know your story and hear what brought you to therapy. I encourage clients to prioritize what they would like to work on first. We establish therapeutic goals together early on in the treatment process. As we continue to work together, we reflect on those goals to maximize the client's experience, track progress and growth, and adjust goals as needed.
