“The power of story is to heal and to sustain. And if we are brave enough to tell our own story, we realize we’re not alone, again and again.”
My Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy is grounded in the therapeutic relationship, purposeful empathy, evidence-based practices, and a posture of curiosity and non-judgment.
In sessions, you can expect me to be relationally responsive to you and your interests, needs, strengths, and goals for growth through trauma-informed approaches. I love to integrate creativity into our work, as well.
The therapeutic environment is ours to co-create; you are the expert of you and I feel honored to be invited to come alongside individuals as they bravely step into healing and greater wellness. Together, we will acknowledge the both/ands of your life; that you can be feeling angry, depressed, anxious, AND also joyful, too.
Therapy is hard and rich work; with that in mind, I want to do everything I can to ensure you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered.
