If you feel like you're overwhelmed and at war with yourself then therapy might be the thing you need to reconnect with yourself, your nervous system, and relationships. Healing doesn't come through re-writing who you are, it comes from deep grounded understanding of your mind, nervous system, and history. I'm not going to try to "fix" you; our goal is to discover that you were never broken to begin with, only disconnected from your authentic self.
I approach therapy from a relational lens balancing gentleness and challenging as needed. I don't look at mental illness as and "illness", rather a disconnect between how you perceive yourself and who you actually are. I am here to help you connect with yourself and rediscover and appreciate yourself again not to focus on your flaws. I consider my approach to be very holistic and relational using a combination of theories with Gestalt and Narrative being corner stones of my approach. Additionally, I use several other theories in support including IFS, CBT, SE, Attachment, Gottman, and others.
First sessions are focused on establishing rapport and building a strong therapuetic alliance. As a very relational therapist I give client's every opportunity they need to inquire about me both personally and professionally. The primary goal of our introductory session is to instill hope and collaborate together on how to reach ideal goals and connect with your authentic best self!
