I believe that you already have the inner wisdom to know what you value and want in your life. In therapy, I will help you compassionately examine and understand patterns you have developed that no longer serve you. We can work together to curate a path forward in the direction of your personal values, strengths, and dreams.
My approach involves first developing a contextual understanding of your life experiences, your values/dreams, and barriers you have encountered to feeling self-fulfillment. We will explore goals for therapy and I can provide my thoughts on how we might proceed. We can then co-create a therapy plan.
My competence involves significant training and practice in a range of therapy models including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavior (DBT), Interpersonal Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness Based therapies. I am a Level 2 iRest (c) practitioner which is a trauma-informed meditation practice.
Meeting with a stranger and sharing your experience of struggle can be very stressful. I think you will find that I am a good listener with a very compassionate heart along with extensive training and experience in psychological theory and practice.
It would be my pleasure meet you for a free 15 minute call and see if it would be a good collaboration.

Women's Therapeutic Writing Group
The Women's Therapeutic Writing Group is designed to assist adult Women in finding their own unique voice through writing. Participants are invited to write at check-in and following our review of a short piece of writing by a Woman author. Those in the group can choose to share with the group their writing or can elect to pass. We do not provide feedback on the quality or content of writing as the class is here to support voices emerging and is not geared towards professional writing.
