About My Clients
I help individuals, couples, and families experiencing relationship issues, family of origin complexities, and identity exploration. Whether it is relationship struggles, past familial trauma, or managing the joys and pains of being apart of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am here to be apart of your support system. I am guided by the approach that our environment greatly impacts our wellbeing so I love helping my clients feel more at home in relationship with themselves and those around them.
My Background and Approach
As a relational therapist, what's really important to me is basing my approach on the belief that our emotional well-being is impacted by the quality of our connections. I see each client as part of a complex web of relationships and inner parts. My main goal is to build a supportive relationship with you where we can explore the patterns that impact your life. Together, we'll dive into your past experiences and current interactions to gain insights into patterns and unresolved conflicts. The idea is to understand and reframe these patterns, so you can have healthier ways of relating and communicating. Throughout the therapy process, I emphasize empathy, active listening, and validation, creating a safe space where you can freely explore your feelings and thoughts. There's nothing to "fix," only things to understand.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship and the change that it can promote. I’ve seen it for myself in my own life and in the lives of my clients. There are many factors that make a therapist the right fit for you but I have found that it is the relationship you have with your therapist that makes all the difference. I am also guided by balance— finding the sweet spot of harmony between challenging yourself and practicing radical self-acceptance and compassion. Balanced Life Psychotherapy is a practice that is committed to inclusion— embracing and providing a safe space for all genders, sexualities, religions, and backgrounds. You are valued here for who you are.
