The decision to seek counseling can feel vulnerable and scary, and it is also in that same uncomfortableness where healing begins. Perhaps you feel sad, ashamed, lonely, or stuck with no real sense of direction or identity. Whatever the reason, it is not beyond hope. I commend you on taking this brave first step toward your own journey and encourage you to take a moment, too, to notice how this may be an act of kindness toward yourself.
I know that it is incredibly painful to feel unseen or misunderstood, and so it is my goal to see you as you truly are. I aim to hold space for all of your emotions without judgment. No part of you is “wrong” or “bad,” no matter how much it feels that way. I believe in using gentle curiosity, fostering self-compassion, and tending to the counselor-client relationship. I hope to walk alongside you as we explore and navigate the intricacies of your unique inner world. I believe we are all capable of healing. We are all deserving of joy. I would be honored to do this brave work with you.
In session, I utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Gestalt therapy. What does this mean? My therapeutic approach stems from the idea that early attachments and experiences shape who we are today. We cannot change the past, but we can change how we relate to it. Self-awareness is key to understanding what is happening within our minds and bodies. I want to validate your experience, recognize the part of you that holds intense pain, honor parts that have been working so hard to ensure your safety and survival, and help you return to your authentic core self where you can feel at peace and live your life fully.
When I am not working, you can find me exploring in nature, lost in a book, or snoozing with my cats. Please reach out to our main office if you feel we would be a good fit working together.
