You made it! Welcome. Now, it is my hope that you stay a while, and grow comfortable with knowing that you have just found a safe ally. It can be scary and exhausting to search endlessly for the right therapist. The process can almost feel like that colloquial expression of: “I’ll know it when I see it”. Except in this case, the thinking may be: “I’ll know it when I feel it”. It is my hope that after briefly tapping you into my world, you will feel comfortable and safe enough to begin tapping me into yours.
I welcome all aspects of yourself, and I respect your timing in introducing me to each of those parts. My clinical thinking and practice is through a Trauma-Informed and Psychodynamic lens. This perspective affords me the tools to help you explore how past traumas and negative experiences may be influencing your present. Trauma is not a one-size-fits-all. We will take our time to identify what trauma looks and feels like for you.
To encourage this process, my style is relational. When you enter my (virtual) office, you can expect to work with a warm, intentional, empathetic, and humorous clinician. I meet you where you are at. I respect your pace while utilizing my intuitive and direct nature to gently push our process through stagnant times.
Through our curiosity and partnership, we will work to heal old wounds. We will work to nourish and replenish your mind, body, and spirit. We will work to get rid of those negative thoughts and feelings that no longer serve you. Let’s find out what the best version of yourself looks like. You deserve to see it, and you deserve to be it.
