Therapeutic Approach

I provide individual (18 and older) and couples counseling for perinatal mental health and highly sensitive and/or empathic persons, mindfulness and self-compassion group therapy, and clinical supervision.

My approach to counseling is supportive, collaborative, holistic, and client-centered. I am what is considered an integrative therapist, which means I use different therapeutic approaches to support you in meeting your goals. I have been trained in a variety of different theoretical approaches, including Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Narrative therapy, and humanistic approaches. In addition, I often use Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Mindfulness Self-Compassion (MSC) techniques to support your goals. I have found that integrating therapeutic techniques offers the client a holistic way of exploring, understanding, and ultimately altering or coping with discomfort. I view my therapeutic approach as an equal partnership with my clients. By working together, clients can discover deeper understanding in life and find their healthy and authentic self.

I will support your goals and aspirations, while holding space for you to trust your own instincts and knowledge. I will work to amplify your successes, assist you in further developing your skills, increasing your awareness and self-confidence. This work enables potential for future change and inner peace. I work to understand your perspective through non-judgmental and empathetic listening. I want to hear your experiences and thoughts to identify what might be driving you to think and act in ways that do not support your goals, your growth or your health. I look forward to walking with you on your journey.
