As humans, we are meant to collaborate. Our sessions will consist of a warm, nurturing energy in a comfortable space. With my clients, I am always expressive and authentically myself. I will be nothing less than honest and direct with my feedback to guide you on your journey. We all have strengths and resources to use to our advantage to grow and change. I believe passionately that what has been harmed in a relationship can be healed in a relationship. I see the attunement between myself and my client as the foundation to healing.
Modality and Approach
I believe in an integrated approach to therapy, tailoring the treatment and interventions to the specific client. At my core, I am a humanistic, relational, attachment-focused therapist viewing all presentations through a trauma-informed and non-diagnostic model. The approaches I gravitate towards the most are Internal Family Systems and Psychodynamic. I draw from CBT and DBT often when engaging in mindfulness and work that involves blocked core beliefs. I also incorporate visualization exercises and the use of play and imagination for clients who are open to these methods.
What is one thing you do daily that supports your mental and emotional well-being?
I practice self-care as a therapist by doing a quick grounding exercise before each session, taking a moment to feel my feet on the ground and check in with my body. I practice self-care by making sure I engage in either drawing, painting with watercolors, playing the piano, or engaging my inner-child in some way.
