About My Clients
The steady stream of anxious thoughts and feelings of self doubt are paralyzing. The cycle sets in and the more anxious you are the less you can get done and the worse you feel. Anxiety is like the monster under the bed. As we explore the content and origins of your anxiety, the monster becomes a lot less scary. We will also work on practical strategies that you can implement right away. You’re so ready to step out of this exhausting pattern and reclaim your life.
My Background and Approach
-The trusting connection we build together is the foundation of therapy. To trust me you need to feel safe and know that I see your goodness. You also need to know that I’m all-in and working hard to make sure you feel understood. -My job isn’t to fix you. Our work together is about discovering who you are and the freedom to engage in life as your true self. Our goal is not changing you into some idealized, unrealistic version of yourself. -I am 100% human. This means I won’t always get it right and if that happens lets talk about it. Being human also means that I’ll be real with you. -It’s a given that life is hard, but at times it’s totally hilarious, which means we’ll laugh together when it’s funny. The counseling process can be tough, but shouldn't be boring and humorless. -I’m committed to growing and learning. Reading, taking courses, and collaborating with other therapists means that I’m always adding to my knowledge and skills. -
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My aim as a therapist is to engage each individual person with respect, compassion, and curiosity. We are all shaped by unique, mysterious, powerful life experiences. I am aware that many people's experiences have been traumatizing or have left them feeling marginalized and othered. I strive to approach each person's story with deep attention and honor. The relationship between the therapist and client is a unique, professional, yet profoundly connected and personal one. I believe that the relationship that we build together holds the potential to bring about healing, wholeness, and transformation. I am acutely aware of your need to be seen, heard, and supported. The time that we spend together in therapy is your time. During the therapeutic hour, I am there for you, as a non-judgmental collaborator.
