My Approach
Most clients come to me when they’ve reached a crisis or inflection point in their lives. Maybe you have recently experienced a traumatic loss, become a parent, or received a life-changing diagnosis. The rug has been pulled out & you can't imagine how to move forward in this new reality. Or maybe your anxiety or trauma is holding you back from the life you want to live or the person you want to be. Parents may realize that the fears or behaviors their children are struggling with are beyond growing pains, but feel at a loss to help them. Whatever your reason, I am glad you found your way here.
I utilize evidenced-based practices to support my clients in creating lasting, meaningful change. My style is warm and relaxed, authentic, family-centered and rooted in self compassion and mindfulness. Depending on a client's unique needs and goals, we utilize tools and strategies to cope with intense feelings, evaluate and begin to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, process traumas large and small, form new identities, expand the body's sense of safety, and foster hope and resiliency.
With the right support and tools people can overcome even the most overwhelming circumstances. You needn’t walk this path alone. I invite you to reach out to discuss how I can help.
