You do not have to stay stuck

Find What Fills Your Cup

Clients who arrive at therapy with me are often on the verge of burnout or already are.

They are scared of remaining stuck and feel as though making a different choice for themselves is too intimidating or unrealistic. And yet, the sinking feeling of wondering if things could be better remains. But it doesn’t have to stay there.

Session Breakdown

What does my first session look like?

During your first session, we’ll work on your intake paperwork, sign releases, and collaborate on your goals for therapy.

Every session will be 50 minutes, and I recommend in the beginning we meet once a week for the first several weeks to keep up the momentum we see in each session. Payment is collected at the end of your session via credit card

Free Consultation

Find your best fit

Every therapist is unique, and finding a clinician that is a good fit for you is essential. For this reason, I provide a single free 20-minute phone consultation.

This gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about my approach to therapy or the therapeutic process. It also gives both of us a chance to determine if we are a good fit. If you were better served by another clinician, I will provide you with referrals.

The Process

What will the therapeutic process be like for me?

Mindfulness

Mindfulness Techniques

In my approach, I focus on integrating practices that enhance body awareness and mindfulness.

This typically involves a variety of techniques such as breathwork, body scanning exercises, guided meditations, and yoga practices, among others. These methods are designed to cultivate mindfulness and improve overall well-being.

Metaphor

Exploring Metaphors

Our conversations frequently utilize metaphors, and when these arise, I encourage a deeper exploration, either through detailed description or by visually drawing them out.

This approach allows for a clearer distinction between the issue and the individual, serving as an effective tool in the journey towards healing.

Strengths

Emphasizing Strengths

My methodology is rooted in a strengths-based perspective, aimed at helping you recognize and appreciate your most exceptional qualities.

This process can sometimes feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable, especially if you're not accustomed to acknowledging and embracing your own remarkable attributes.

Therapy is a place to express ourselves and our experience

When we get the chance to express ourselves truly, our genuine characteristics emerge, tears are shed, joy is apparent, and we allow ourselves to feel and be, in all our humanness.

No matter what, you are always in the driver’s seat. It’s your time, your money, and your energy!

I see therapy as a space to process your lived experience in ways that shift how you view your current challenges. Brainstorming unique ways to process one’s experience is a creative piece that I love about therapy. We will tailor our sessions to your needs and preferences based on what you want out of therapy.
