From a therapeutic perspective, I believe in "meeting people where they’re at." I also consider therapy a great way of finding what a beautiful life looks like for each and every person, with an understanding that we’re all different, but with some commonalities amongst us. I find that we can all find pockets of peace no matter how chaotic our lives are, and I love to help others find that too. I believe in combatting the “perfect” world social media has created by offering a real person to help support you, not a textbook robot.
I have years of experience working with people in this capacity. There is almost nothing you can say that will shock me. You will get an open-minded, non-judgmental, warm, and safe environment when working with me. Not only do I have the academic background, but I come with life experience too. I specialize in women’s mental health, but support all.
I see myself as an integrative practitioner; pulling theories and interventions from multi-modalities when appropriate such as Psychodynamic, Existentialism, CBT, Mindfulness, and Gottman, but at the core, always working through the Therapeutic Alliance of understanding and collaboration.
