About
Welcome!
Thank you for being here. My hope is that these words help you get a feel for me and my style as a therapist. Finding a good fit is very important in the therapeutic process. I treat our relationship as sacred and deeply value creating safety, trust, and vulnerability to help you take steps in a meaningful direction.
I am passionate about helping you reduce overwhelm, stress, and anxiety and develop deeper acceptance of your self. I practice therapy from a relational, holistic (mind, body, soul), and mindfulness (acceptance and compassion) perspective.
Choosing a therapist who is a good fit for you is important.
Here is a bit more about me to help make that decision…
I am many things (we all are!)… Some of the labels or parts that describe me are nature-lover, wife, occasional ski and yoga instructor, daughter, meditator, avid reader, sister, coffee connoisseur (can I go that far?!), mindfulness practitioner, movement enthusiast, friend, and most importantly, just like you, a human! I am dedicated to a life of growth, inquiry, and wellbeing. I have found immense gratification in doing my own inner work (although hard at times!) and I am committed to the path of personal growth while walking alongside you on yours. Life is meant to be a work in process.
I believe we are all doing the best we can to navigate life with our current set of tools. Sometimes, we need a little support. We all have the capacity for positive change and growth. That includes you!
How I help others.
I work from a relational, holistic, and mindfulness-based perspective. I prioritize our relationship and deeply believe in a client/person-centered approach to therapy.
What this means is that I believe each individual has the innate capacity for healing, change, and growth in a positive direction. I also trust that you are the expert in your own life and that you most likely don’t need or want another adult telling you what to do or not do… During our work together, I will support, encourage, and challenge you while building an authentic, trusting, and safe therapeutic relationship.
Mental health is so much more than just our thoughts, moods, and experiences of the mind!
I look at mental health and therapy from holistic and wellness-based lenses that help integrate mind-body modalities and the impact of our physical, social, communal, spiritual, financial, work, and family experiences/worlds on our overall wellbeing. This approach also allows therapy to be tailored to your unique concerns and preferences.
Committing to therapy and making life changes can be hard and at times uncomfortable. I believe in walking alongside you on your journey of growth and change. My hope is that we can help you make the changes you seek in a meaningful way that allows you to reduce stress, increase self trust, and live your life well.
Therapy is for everybody...
Therapy is not just for treating mental illness, but for creating mental health and enhancing overall wellbeing. I specialize in working with adults ages 18+ across the lifespan. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, life adjustments, wellness, interpersonal concerns, issues related to self-esteem and self-confidence, finding purpose and meaning, and career changes to name a few. Therapy can also help you embrace your inner strengths and cultivate resiliency so that you can navigate life’s challenges and live a meaningful, healthy, and more fulfilling life.
