Therapy
At its core, therapy is a pathway to a deeper understanding of yourself. With that knowledge, you can have a non-judgmental awareness, acceptance, and love for who you are, have been, and are becoming.
My goal as a therapist is to help you examine your lived experience in a safe and inspiring way. In addition to my clinical experience I provide an environment that can be humorous and fun as well as vulnerable and challenging. We will identify the desired and undesired aspects of your habits and beliefs and attend to them with compassion and accountability. I am an active therapist and will help you connect the patterns and themes present in your psyche, in addition to your past and present actions, so that you can experience your life with increased self-compassion and gratitude.
I have primarily worked with clients experiencing the effects of anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, relationship issues, break-ups, anger, loneliness, love addiction, disordered eating/body issues, occupational challenges, grief, and loss. I work with couples to navigate the complexities of relationships and increase productive and empathetic communication.
Our work will vary from week to week depending on your needs. What will always remain the same: I will provide a safe environment for you to be seen and heard without judgement so you can learn more about yourself and increase self-compassion, confidence, and inner peace.
Session content often includes:
processing experiences from childhood
engaging in meditative mindfulness techniques
analyzing dreams
separating out your personal beliefs from our societal constructs and norms
processing existential curiosity
exploring (and potentially re-writing) the story you are telling about yourself currently or in the past
establishing boundaries that you want to set with yourself or others and rehearsing clear and empathetic communication
identifying and increasing areas of personal accountability to assist in achievement of goals
decreasing self-critical thought and increasing self-compassion
What will always remain the same: I will provide a safe environment for you to be seen and heard without judgement. After all, the journey of a lifetime is to be yourself.
