My joy is in helping others find their own. I support people from all walks of life in processing their narratives and in creating healthy systems that work for them. Healing can be exciting; it can even be fun! The primary focus of my clinical work has been in working with adult children of narcissists, who tend to have some similar attributes, including: people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, low self-esteem, inefficient coping/emotion regulation, social anxiety, and passivity.
The relationship between therapist and client is the most important part of therapy. As such, it's my goal to make you feel comfortable, understood, and safe enough to process your innermost thoughts. I'll take the time to make sure you're ready to embark on a truly life-changing journey.
I'm an active listener who will provide empathic support while also challenging you to grow. I'll ask questions that help you engage in deeper thought and self-reflective patterns. I'll help you identify your emotions and understand what they are telling you. Humor is an important part of life and will surely find its way into our sessions!
