“Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.” ~ Brene’ Brown
My Philosophy
There is so little in the world that we can truly count on. It can feel like absolutely everything is beyond our control. Each of us does, however, have within us the power to change the way we look at the challenges that life throws at us. Through connection and trust, we will identify your own unique strengths and build upon those strengths to improve the way you view and manage the situations, relationships, and memories that are standing in the way of your personal happiness. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey to your best self. Together, we will work towards identifying what stands in the way of your joy, inner peace, and self-acceptance, then develop and practice strategies to improve your ability to manage those challenges as they arise.
My Approach to Therapy
Individual Counseling
I am a client-centered, trauma-informed, solution-focused therapist. Essentially, this means that:
- I realize that no one knows who you are or what you need better than you do.
- I view my clients through the lens of “What have you been through? rather than “What is wrong with you?”
- I believe that therapy is meant to bring about positive, noticeable changes in my clients’ lives.
Couples’ Counseling
I take an eclectic approach with my couples. First and foremost, I see the relationship as my client. Any suggestions or homework I give will be meant to improve the partnership. I seek to understand each partner’s attachment style and love language, as these play an integral part in how we show up in important relationships. Finally, I use cognitive behavioral therapy to identify any core beliefs that may be interfering with honest and effective communication.
