1:1 Therapy
What therapy with me looks like
My therapeutic approach is compassionate, validating, empathic, and deeply human.
I believe most of us want to feel heard, understood, valued, and accepted. Therapy is a very personal process, and I want you to feel deeply supported while also having the space to discover what you need, rather than being told who you should become.
My work is person-centered and trauma-informed. That means I pay attention not only to what is happening in your life now, but also to the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and patterns that may have shaped how you learned to move through the world.
You set the pace.
We can be curious about the parts of your life that hurt without forcing you somewhere you are not ready to go.
I work with adults of all races, sexual orientations, gender identities, relationship identities, backgrounds, and life experiences.
I accept BCBS PPO/Aetna/Cigna/United & Optum.
Currently in the works: credentialing with Medicare
One of my favorite quotes about therapy is:
“Be messy and complicated and afraid and show up anyway.”
You do not have to arrive as the most polished version of yourself.
You just have to arrive.
I believe healing is possible.
Not because we can erase what has happened to us, but because the past does not have to continue holding the same amount of power over the present.
My approach to healing
I use a variety of therapeutic approaches because no two people arrive with exactly the same story.
Rather than forcing your experience into one particular method, we will work together to understand what is contributing to the way you feel today and what may help you move toward something different.
Therapy may involve exploring current stressors, understanding patterns, developing new ways of responding, processing past experiences, strengthening boundaries, challenging beliefs you have carried about yourself, and making room for parts of yourself that may have been ignored for a very long time.
