About Therapy and My Approach

​Therapy can help gain some insight into why we do the things we do, why we choose the people we choose, why we tolerate certain things, or why we find ourselves repeating the same patterns. It's a place to explore your past, talk about the present, heal old wounds, let go of shame, learn new ways of thinking or responding and move forward in a way that makes you feel good about who you are. 

​

In my practice, I use a mixture of techniques and approaches to increase insight and awareness, challenge the limiting beliefs that keep you stuck or guarded. Together, we'll get to know he parts of yourself such the protector, the pleaser or the critic that tend to take the lead. It's about learning how to respond instead of reacting and make choices that make you feel in control and at peace with yourself. I help clients understand not just what they feel, but why they are feeling it, and how those patterns formed so we can heal it.

​

 I use humor, storytelling, music, media, quotes, and anything I find that may be relatable. I balance warmth with challenge and will hold space for your pain and also gently call out what's keeping you stuck. I will take the time to understand who you are and what you need because therapy isn't one size fits all.
