Hi there,****NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS DUE TO MATERNITY LEAVE**** I am happy you are here and are beginning the rewarding journey of therapy. I truly believe everyone can benefit from therapy and welcome you as a co-learner on this journey of self growth. I specialize in working with adult individual clients with complex PTSD due to childhood histories of abuse and/or neglect, including histories of socioeconomic stress, immigration stress, or who had parents with addictions or personality disorders. I also specialize in working with clients who have generalized anxiety, perfectionistic tendencies, panic attacks, and/or struggle with obsessive thought loops. I frequently work with LGBTQ+ clients on processing gender and sexuality transitions. Or with clients adjusting to other life transitions such as employment, childbirth, marriage, divorce, or grief and loss. I frequently help individuals who are looking to have better relationships. My style can be described as active, direct, empathic, warm, strengths based, empowering, and authentic. Clients often both laugh and cry in my sessions. I enjoy using metaphors, stories, and psychoeducation to help illustrate challenging concepts to connect with different learning styles, using humor in sessions, providing direct practical tools and building out a toolbox of coping skills with my clients, working with clients to get to the deeper levels of why they're struggling so that they can eventually “be their own therapist,” empowered to resolve their problems on their own. Clients who are seeking a therapist who takes a systemic, spiritual and/or social justice approach to therapy frequently seek out my services due to my comfort level with talking about concepts such as race, class, and gender in the therapy room which I believe are much needed to develop a holistic understanding on our personal problems and how to solve them. I weave together multiple theories and modalities to customize treatment to the needs of each client. Some theories I frequently pull from and use in session are: Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Brief Strategic Therapy, Family Systems Therapy and attachment based therapy approaches, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness based approaches, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Please feel free to reach out to me for a 15 minute consult call to see if we would be a good fit. |
