MY APPROACH
Within my practice, I am dedicated to offering personalized treatment that aligns with each client's unique strengths and aspirations. I firmly believe that individuals already possess the capability to instigate change, and my role is to guide them through this transformation by leveraging their inherent positive qualities.
Recognizing that therapy can be daunting, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment where clients feel empowered to express themselves.
I view therapy as a collaborative effort, with the client's objectives dictating the structure and methodology we undertake together. I integrate evidence-based techniques to address issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and family conflicts, supplementing them with holistic approaches such as relaxation techniques, meditation, yoga, and aromatherapy to cater to each client's specific needs.
Contrary to the common belief therapy must be a lengthy process to yield results, I firmly believe that motivated individuals who set achievable and measurable goals can experience transformation more swiftly than anticipated. My aim is to help individuals discover new perspectives on their challenges and life, fostering self-discovery and empowerment in a shorter timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Well, first and foremost, I’ve been there. My challenges with labor and delivery along with parenting a “neuro spicy” child gives me a lot of insight and empathy for the many difficulties moms walk into my office with. I also use a variety of techniques together, like EMDR, Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, and Sand Tray to help clients break through barriers to progress they may have experienced previously in general talk therapy.
Not everyone who struggles or comes in to therapy requires medication in order to make progress. However, medication is a tool that can be very helpful in the short or long-term to make progress more quickly and get symptom relief faster. I never push clients to take medication (that’s a decision to be made between client and a doctor or psychiatrist); however, I will be very honest when I think it’s something that might benefit someone. No one deserves to suffer needlessly when tools are available.
