We are not meant to survive in this world in isolation. Human connection is what we thrive on and yearn for. Whether those connections are familial, romantic, friendly, professional, or surface level; we need them to survive. The therapeutic space provides a beautiful exchange for exploring these connections, building resiliency, learning new tools, and writing new narratives.
I pull from different theoretical approaches as needed. I work from a systems perspective, considering each person’s place within their unique relational system. I often utilize therapeutic foundations from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) based on Attachment Theory. This means I help clients focus on the emotions and feelings behind their struggles, which are often hidden deeper within, and may stem from early childhood experiences. Locating these true emotions, and asking ourselves where they stem from, often provide us with the answers we need. Our feelings are worth focusing on, as they typically lead us toward growth and resilience.
I also utilize humor and creative expression in counseling to help ease and unpack the mind. Humor and laughter are a necessary part of the healing process. I don’t believe there is a “one size fits all” approach when it comes to therapy. For that reason, I like to explore options with each client and adjust as needed.
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, welcoming and warm setting that enables each client to heal, grow, and thrive. You are welcome to think of me as your personal cheerleader, sounding board, comrade, and emotional guide. I strive to help you feel accepted as you are. This is your personal journey, and I look forward to supporting you in navigating every twist and turn.
I specialize in working with the Highly Sensitive Person, Empaths and Intuitives. I also offer trauma work using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), somatic experiencing and parts work pulling from IFS (Internal Family Systems).
