I support individuals and couples who seek more peace, contentment, and meaning in their lives. I work with my clients to create more self-compassion and self-acceptance and improve their ability to tolerate the difficult emotions and experiences that come with being human.
My style as a therapist is integrative and holistic. I believe that the mind-body-spirit connection is integral to understanding the whole person. I value connection, creating safety, and allowing my clients to feel seen, heard, and understood.
I bring my authentic self into the therapy room. My foremost goal is to connect with my client, as the client-therapist relationship is integral to the healing power of therapy.
I also draw from evidence-based, post-modern, and creative approaches, depending on the client’s needs and goals for therapy.
If my degree in Marital and Family Therapy means that I only see married couples and families. The simple answer is no.
The essence of this degree is in the greater system that all humans are part of. Everyone has a past, a network of people (both personally and professionally), and a society and community in which they are part of.
As an MFT, I believe in the importance of considering how all of these factors influence my client and impact their present functioning
• Engage with you in session.
• Provide feedback.
• Encourage you to “go inward” and lean into discomfort.
• Listen to understand you.
• Respect your inner wisdom.
• Challenge you when appropriate.
• Hold space for whatever you are presently feeling.
• Support and guide you in coming to your own answers and healing.
• Provide an authentic, warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment.
• Do the work for you.
• Assume to know you.
• Make decisions for you.
• Tell you to change.
• Sit in silence and stare at you.
• Only ask “How does that make you feel?”
• 15-minute (free) phone consultation to evaluate your needs and our fit.
• 50 (or 75, if you prefer) minute initial assessment session.
• Regular sessions, determined jointly to meet your needs and goals.
• Personalized and collaboratively designed treatment plan including creation of goals for therapy.
• Homework in-between sessions (if appropriate).
• Routine check-ins to assess progress and gain feedback on how my style, pacing, and direction toward your goals is working for you.
• Launch you into the world to continue the lifelong process of self development utilizing newly gained tools, strategies, insights, and your own inner wisdom as your guide.
• Being there to reinitiate therapy if the needs arises.
