I use a compassionate, holistic, person-centered approach because I recognize that you are the expert on you, and that exploring vulnerability began with you choosing to reach out for support. Because you are an individual with your own collection of needs and goals, I draw on several practices and modalities, including: Strengths-based Therapy; Narrative Therapy; Experiential Therapy; Somatic Therapy; nonviolent communication; personality typing; core values; identifying and holding boundaries; processing personal, social, and cultural roles; and achieving your best Identity of Self.
My specialties include, but are not limited to: anxiety; depression; trauma/PTSD; life changes and adjustment; grief and loss; relational difficulties; communication; identifying goals and creating plans to pursue them; and autonomy and agency development.
Over many years and many transitions, I've come to recognize that nearly all of them could have been just a little smoother if I had reached out for support, coaching, and connection. I recognize that you are summoning courage in this moment, I want to acknowledge that your experiences are valid for you, and I'm honored to help you navigate your journey.
