Process & Approach
Our therapy sessions will provide a kind, supportive, collaborative, and engaging space to explore where you came from, who you are, what you want, and who you want to be. Together, we will identify your triggers and challenge negative thoughts and feelings such as insecurity, self-doubt, passivity, loneliness, shame, regret, guilt, constantly striving or comparing- "feeling small," "feeling numb," "lack of agency," or "like a shell" and unable to cope with life challenges and future uncertainty.
We will dig deep to explore and understand your past (family of origin, intergenerational trauma, childhood experiences, cultural and religious or spiritual influences, socioeconomic considerations, etc.) and accept the present with greater compassion, curiosity, resilience, optimism, and self-awareness. Your family of origin and lived experiences are special, valid, and important to process.
There is more to come with your story!
We will enhance your understanding about yourself and your core values to deepen your trust and compassion towards yourself by repurposing previous thoughts, emotions, and expectations to become more in alignment with truth, kindness, and "the real you."
We will cultivate empowering shifts in beliefs and identify actionable steps for you to:
Process childhood family experiences, including trauma, and understand your attachment style and patterns
Become more aware of your needs, desires, and who you are
Be able to handle tough emotions and see there is a future with endless possibilities ahead
Increase connection to yourself and others
Assert yourself in your relationships with healthier boundaries
Prioritize your energy, time, and responsibilities before those around you
Cope with life stressors and uncertainty
Have clarity, confidence, and hope for your future!
We will work intentionally and adaptably to identify short- and long-term goals for therapy and keep open conversations to ensure accountability and progress. I also enjoy collaborating with various professionals and community resources to support clients with greater options to connect in meaningful and beneficial ways.
As a result of committing and engaging in the therapeutic work together, you will "graduate" from therapy feeling confident and capable of making decisions and taking care of your emotional and mental health needs. We will also develop a personalized toolbox of coping skills and resources to further your resilience and self-sufficiency, equipped to confidently navigate future challenges!
I utilize a variety of approaches and interventions including:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
Solution Focused Brief Therapy
Every person's story and needs are different and unique, therefore, I strive to provide authentic validation and tools that cater to each client based on presenting issues, needs, and goals.
