I work with clients through a systems perspective and bring awareness to behavioral and emotional patterns that formed during childhood and continue to negatively impact clients in adulthood. I utilize curiosity, without judgment, to develop an understanding of how you're being negatively impacted by these struggles. Together, we can create realistic goals to make life not just manageable, but meaningful and enjoyable.
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. I believe that our thoughts have a profound impact on our overall mood and behavior. Additionally, I view change from a systemic lens, as I believe that our values and thought patterns are heavily influenced by the different systems with which we interact (family, school, religion, etc.).
Expect to be challenged! You are seeking therapy in order to get help with a problem that is negatively impacting your life. I am approachable and warm, and will compassionately allow you to process through what isn't working in your life. I generally assign clients "homework" in between sessions as therapy requires commitment outside of our sessions!
