I believe in a judgment free collaborative approach, and am LGBTQ+ affirming. I use a goals based approach, which means we will hone in on what results you would like to see from therapy, identify the challenges that keep you from your goals and work together to develop solutions. Being solutions focused also requires confronting old patterns of thoughts or behaviors that no longer serve you. A big part of my work with clients is helping them identify Negative Core Beliefs they have about themselves that prevent them from moving forward in life, and replacing these with Positive Core Beliefs.
I offer trauma informed talk therapy, and sprinkle in Art Therapy for those who are curious and want to give it a try. You do not need to be "good" at art to be "good" at art therapy. Believe it or not, art averse people tend to like it the most! I only recommend art if it is clinically relevant, and we have established a foundation of trust. ie No pressure.
I believe in your innate ability to heal, to make meaning from suffering and bounce back from adversity. "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes" -Carl Jung. If you feel we might be a good match, contact me for a free consultation so we can get to know each other better!
