About My Clients
I have a passion for collaborating with individuals, couples, and families as they learn to identify and communicate their needs as a means of improving their relationships and living more authentically. I also enjoy working with young people and their families to increase their emotional vocabulary as well as their understanding of developmentally-appropriate strategies to address behavioral challenges and enhance self-esteem.
My Background and Approach
I view each client as the expert of their own life and respectfully and collaboratively assist clients as they explore their lived experiences in order to increase understanding of their values, needs and authentic selves. I utilize post-modern approaches to therapy which focus on language and the stories we tell ourselves about our lived experiences. This methodology helps clients identify patterns in their behaviors and relationships as well as their inherent self-agency.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I operate from the belief that underneath symptomatology, maladaptive patterns of behavior, and conflict is an inherent desire for each individual to feel heard, understood, and safe. I am multicultural and social justice oriented, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and trauma-informed.
