My Approach to Helping
Therapy is where we ease loneliness and deepen connection with ourselves and others. Where we begin to feel safe and ready to make real and lasting change in our lives. Where we gain new understanding & awareness that guides us out of the place we're in, to the place we long to be.
I help clients get from where they are - to where they want to be. In my practice I work with women of all ages navigating everyday life, relationships, anxiety, and trauma. I also support parents with psychoeducation, coaching, and therapeutic work.
Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist
The client-therapist relationship is one of the most important predictors of therapeutic outcomes. We don't know if we're a match until we connect. We spend our first sessions with me supporting you to comfortably explore your needs and our connection - making sure I have the skills to support you, and we have the connection that makes us a great match.
How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
There is a long and wide history of adoption in my family. It is an honor for me to work with families touched by adoption. I support parents experiencing infertility & considering adoption, adopting a baby or child, working with attachment & family dynamics, building cultural competency, and navigating the ups and downs of their adopted child.
My View on the Nature of 'Disorders'
I'm a strengths-based and needs based therapist. There's nothing wrong with us when we enter therapy - we're just not going about meeting our needs in the best way, or there's a mixup in our minds about what something means. I help clients to use their own values and gifts to navigate meeting their needs and understanding the things that make them feel most stuck.
