My Approach to Helping
Life has a way of throwing unexpected curveballs at us, and you deserve an empathetic and authentic space to express yourself and what has brought you to seek positive change in your life. I find personal connection to be the most healing part of therapy, and I will meet you exactly where you are as we explore your unique needs and growth goals together in a safe environment, free of judgment. I am committed to working with you to build this connection, holding space for your thoughts, emotions, and life story.
Being a person-centered therapist, I take an attachment-based approach, providing a warm, accepting, and trauma-informed therapy experience. If you have endured past andor current trauma and its continuing impact on your life, you're in the right place. While I primarily work with toddlers, children, adolescents, and young adults dealing with life transitions, I have extensive experience working with adults, as well. Whatever age, you will have the freedom and comfortability of exploring your life experiences, judgment-free. I am driven by the healing power of human connection, so you will not find the stereotypical "therapist taking notes while you speak" or "client speaks the whole time while therapist analyzes" in our sessions. Authenticity is at the core of my practice and I will always be authentically human, just as you are.
Above all, in this space, you are allowed to simply be yourself, and I will always show up as myself, as well. Your story deserves to be heard, and I hope to work with you to heal from trauma, tap into and strengthen your emotional resilience and self-discovery, and overcome the stumbling blocks in your path toward wellness and personal empowerment.
