What should a new client know about working with you?
My Values:
As a therapist, I value helping adults find clarity and connection by better understanding their thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Many of the individuals I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. My role is to help you name what you’re feeling, make sense of your experiences, and build tools to navigate life with more intention.
I bring compassion, curiosity, and practical tools to our work together. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, or navigating relationship and family dynamics, I aim to provide a steady, supportive space where you can sort through the noise and reconnect with your values and
My Approach:
I use evidence-based strategies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gottman Method principles, and strengths-based techniques to help clients manage emotions, increase resilience, and feel more empowered. My work often supports adults navigating:
Anxiety and overwhelm
Depression and low motivation
Relationship or marriage challenges
Family of origin work
Life transitions
Identity and self-worth issues
Stress and burnout
Our sessions are collaborative, with a balance of reflection and action. We’ll work together to identify what’s keeping you stuck, shift unhelpful patterns, and take meaningful steps toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.
Hobbies and Interests:
Outside of my work, I live an active and intentional life with my husband and two kids. I’m an avid mountain biker, bake sourdough weekly, and love practicing yoga. I have three beloved dogs who join me for daily hikes on nearby trails. Evenings are often spent enjoying a cozy show, cooking dinner with my husband, or being outside with my family.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
