About My Clients
Perhaps you thought a relationship or job would bring meaning and purpose into your life, and now you are at cross-roads or generally feel unfulfilled. You may even recognize the patterns that you need to change, but you cannot figure out how to put that change into action. Together we can develop a holistic plan for action that helps you develop healthy habits, grow personally, and be a leader in your work and life.
My Background and Approach
I was trained in CBT, which I still utilize. But, over time, I've focused on more holistic approaches such as ACT, solution focused and family systems approaches. I'm interested in you as a whole person, not just a constellation on symptoms. I highly value the need to balance acceptance with hard work when striving to make important life changes. I also understand how family dynamics shape how we choose relationships and deeply affect our own sense of self within relationships. I also believe that the mind-body connection is paramount. Utilizing mindfulness-based techniques can you get unstuck when traditional psychotherapy has failed. While techniques are important, the key to successful therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. Authenticity, warmth, and empathy are integral for people to flourish in, and outside of, therapy. I highly regard the relationship I have with each and every person. I offer individual, couples', discernment, & co-parenting counseling.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm highly motivated to leave the world a better place than I found it. My son and I regularly volunteer at our school farm. I volunteer on boards that support non-violent communication and encourage the destigmatization of mental health. I support students in training and provide free community education on a wide variety of topics including climate anxiety, various mental health topics, and co-parenting.
