What's My Approach to Therapy?
Life is hard. We all face seasons of winter, where a disruption leads to feelings of grief, loneliness, anger, or anxiety. Even desired change can trigger difficult emotional experiences and heightened stress. Our modern life is so crowded with demands that many of us feel overextended, under supported, and disconnected from ourselves and others. At times, it can be difficult to find meaning and purpose in our lives and relationships. Few of us were taught how to recognize and metabolize emotional experiences or how to navigate interpersonal difficulties.
My goal is to create a space where you will feel heard and understood, but also challenged and empowered to explore your life and make lasting change. Together, we will work to identify and begin to challenge and modify interpersonal patterns, habits, and beliefs that that are keeping you stuck.
I pull from different modalities to meet your needs. Sometimes, we might have an exploratory session to increase self awareness or self compassion. Other times, we might engage in active behavioral experiments or exposures. Through our work together, you will learn to build skill and confidence to manage life’s stressors. While individual goals vary, I aim to help my clients live more consciously with more clarity and a better understanding and acceptance of self.
