Compassionate Connection
The connection between therapist and client is like none other. It is one thing to know I support and care about you, but it is another to truly feel seen, heard, and valued. The space I share with clients is sacred and holds so much more than just therapy interventions and coping strategies. It is a space where you can feel safe enough to explore the deepest layers of yourself and know that you are not doing it alone.
Self-Exploration
A strong therapeutic connection can open space for you to turn inward without judgement and gain understanding of Self along with all the Parts of YOU! Intentional questions and guided experiences in a safe space can help you build more compassionate and substantial relationships with yourself and others.
Skills and Strategies
The work doesn't end with the therapy session. Each week I will prescribe a weekly practice which relates to what we are working on in session. Through practice, we develop AWARENESS which I believe is one of the strongest catalysts for change
It Starts with Awareness
Incorporating meditation and mindfulness into our self-care routine can be the thing that changes everything! Simple, daily practices can tone down our fight or flight response and allow for that moment of clarity between the stressor and the action. As we shift into a more regulated state, we can finally access those coping skills we've been learning and respond to life's challenges with intention. Over time, we install a sense of peace and safety within ourselves. We begin to trust ourselves, and know that we, in fact, can can handle things with grace and compassion. Through this trust, self-confidence grows. And we find in ourselves the wisdom and courage to live the life we've dreamed of.
My Style
I have a very eclectic therapeutic style and draw interventions from various approaches. I am inspired by and trained in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model and start our work together knowing that you are made up of many beautiful parts, and already have within you the ability to heal yourself. From those assumptions we work together to help you build a stronger, more compassionate relationship with your Self. Meditation and Breathing techniques are woven into sessions where appropriate. EMDR and Tapping, CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic work are utilized as well. Each person benefits from their own individual treatment strategy, and I enjoy collaborating with clients to build a positive and impactful therapeutic experience.
I integrate spirituality into psychotherapy when it is meaningful to the client, while respecting each client's beliefs and world view.
