I focus on helping my clients process their experiences, recognize their strengths and resiliency, build awareness of patterns of stuckness, tap into their disposition towards growth and change, and cultivate skills they need to do so. I am particularly passionate about working with anxiety and stress, as well chronic physical conditions. As a former high-performance athlete who has undergone a life-changing injury leaving me with chronic pain, I bring a personal understanding of the powerful relationship between our physical health and mental health and the multi-leveled challenges that can come with major life transitions.
I use an integrative approach in order to best meet the unique needs of each of my clients. Solution-focused or processing-focused, neurobiology-informed, education-focused, and trauma-informed are all words that represent my approach. Above all else, I prioritize creating a safe and warm environment above so folks can feel as comfortable as possible.
My personal philosophy includes an acknowledgement that we are complex beings living complex lives. We all develop our own patterns of thinking, feeling, and responding, and therefore sometimes get stuck. I love providing education, techniques that help to increasing effective self-management, doing deeper exploratory work, and holding space hard times.
