"How can therapy help me? What can you tell me that I don’t already know?”- these are ideas that are fairly common for many people considering therapy. After all, society tells us that “emotions are yucky” and can be difficult to face- so what can therapy do for you that will actually benefit you? I believe that therapy is not about the therapist “telling you” about yourself, but is instead to explore what is holding you back from reaching your full potential.
My journey as a therapist led me to work with individuals of various backgrounds, mental health struggles, and past/current trauma. I believe in using techniques and methods that are appropriate based on the needs of the client, but my primary modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
A healthy partnership between the client and the therapist is crucial to reaching the goals that you set for therapy. I believe my purpose is to teach you the tools needed that will empower you to move forward and live your life to the fullest.
