Get To Know Me
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I am a down to earth person and I am a fairly open book! I find the best connections with people form when you be yourself, and share the human experience. This is why I will often share personal stories and connections with you as a means to normalize your experience, connect, and help you feel seen and heard.
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
Therapy can feel scary and challenging, often leaving people to avoid it, continuing the cycle! There are so many myths and misconceptions about what therapy actually is that come from social media, family, movies, culture, and so on. This is why I take a collaborative approach, letting you lead the way and guide your treatment. Meeting you where you are at to create a sense of safety.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My sessions are always different. They range from structured activity, to just listening and validating your experiences! It is very geared toward what you want and need in therapy and/or what you need that day. Some sessions we may be talking about your day, some we may be exploring past experiences and how they impact your personality and behaviors, and some we may be making a list of self care tools or coping skills to try at home!
