I believe it takes a great deal of courage and self-regard for someone to say they need help and reaching out is a powerful (albeit terrifying) first step towards positive change. I understand addressing personal concerns is not a perfect process and will include setbacks, but healing through past/present issues is like writing a book: you have to go through a few drafts before you're satisfied with the result. My approach is to meet you in your current stage of life and help identify personal strengths you can use as needed. You can expect a warm, empathetic approach with questions and comments about the present issue.
I believe in taking a broad view with each client as circumstances, environment, relationships, and culture all have a role to play in psychological health and physical wellbeing. For the last 4 years, my experience has included working with adults of all ages and backgrounds dealing with mental health issues and/or addictions.
Many of my clients have struggled with severe anxiety or depression as well as trauma, addiction, relationship/attachment issues, and abuse. I am well-versed in crisis management, emotional dysregulation, suicidal ideation, and family conflict. Alongside a compassionate-listening approach, I utilize Attachment theory, CBT, IFS, SFT, and MI in my work.
