What do you think is the biggest barrier today for people seeking care?
As moms and women we are often the first to jump in and care for others, and because of this, we do not take the time to pour into ourselves. Therapy is an investment in yourself, helping you develop into the woman, mama, wife, etc you desire to become. Its time to take care of yourself.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I am a super down to earth therapist. I meet you where you are, in your moment. Our goals are determined by what you desire to see as your outcome. Have you caught on yet that this is about YOU... Finding your peace, your center, your point of seeing all the moving pieces fit together.
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 is awkward. Its the one relationship where you are asked to be raw, real, open up, knowing that you will one day end that relationship, yet it a beautiful path to healing that sets you free so you can open up, be raw, and real again, in a healthy way that reaffirms the boundaries you desire to set. You can do this. We can do this.
