There can be such a range of feelings, thoughts, and experiences in the search for a therapist… and, nonetheless, you've made it here. I deeply believe that an authentic, collaborative relationship is key to building and maintaining an empowered therapy space, which, to me, means that bringing "human-ness" into session is so important. I see therapy as somewhere to get curious and explore where we may feel stuck, rather than a space where we work to be "fixed." Relational in my approach with clients, I feel passionate in walking alongside folks in their journey through trauma, relationships, life transitions, and anxiety.
As a therapist, I integrate a mixture of trauma-informed modalities, often pulling from psychodynamic, IFS-informed, and ACT-based approaches. Learning how to hold simultaneous yet opposing emotions/thoughts (known as dialectics), exploring narratives and the practice of accepting all parts of ourselves can be powerful work.
Whether you're seeking support around life transitions, relationships, or other interpersonal work, I'd love to connect and learn more about what you are looking for in therapy. Finding a therapist that feels like a "good fit" is so important... so if interested, I invite you to reach out!
