Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the systems around you? Do interactions with certain people require more energy than they used to? Do you notice your own personal morale dropping or being negatively affected by circumstances that seem beyond your control? This can be such a difficult feeling, but together we can find a way through. I believe each of us is the hero of our own story, equipped with unique strengths and resources to provide a way to not only survive but thrive in life! And I'd love to help.
The tools I offer are tools I have spent over two decades honing as a mentor & life coach, before expanding my horizons even more the last few years to understand the nuances of therapy, working with adolescents, partnerships, and families. I have found that some people naturally resort to coping mechanisms in times of stress that can actually work against them, and when that is all you’ve ever known or tried, it takes a brand new outlook to find a path to personal satisfaction and/or relational relief.
Both individuals & relationships can benefit greatly from expanded awareness of their own selves, as well as those around them, in order to better navigate the intricacies of life. Increased awareness, coupled with the right tools, can lead to great outcomes for a future that seemed so elusive before. And I look forward to collaborating with you to find & realize that future.
I have studied most of the top styles of systemic therapy, and I try to cater my approach to each of my clients' specific needs. This takes time to build trust in a safe space, where clients know they can speak openly about anything, while also feeling valued in a way that is unique to them and their context. From here, I appreciate weaving a narrative therapy (NT) and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) approach - crafting an overarching story and connecting on deeper levels - while integrating Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools that help empower you toward the life you seek.
The first step in therapy is talking. Let's find a time where we can meet and talk about what's on your mind.
