My Approach

My goal in therapy is to help my clients heal and grow into a person they are confident in. I foster self-esteem as well as validate feelings and emotions that my clients are experiencing. I provide a judgement-free environment for clients to express their feelings and desires in life. I believe that everyone holds the key to their own happiness within themselves. My intention is to help you get to that place in your life where you feel fulfilled and to help you recognize that you have had that ability within yourself the entire time.

Utilizing therapeutic modalities inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, Interpersonal Therapy, and a Humanistic Psychology perspective, I work with individuals to help improve relationships, heal their inner child, and understand why they operate the way that they do. Additionally, we will work together to understand how these past experiences are showing up in your life, today, and work to change that outdated template to a more accurate and realistic one.

In the last few months I have completed the Perinatal Mental Health certification program provided through Postpartum Support International (PSI) and enjoy working with women as they process pregnancy, loss, adjusting to life postpartum, and parenting struggles. When it comes to parenting, our attachment styles play a big role in how we interact and respond to our children. Healing this attachment wound can help you have a relationship with your child that feels less triggering and more enjoyable for the both of you.

I tend to lean towards a humanistic or person-centered approach to therapy. In summary, this style of therapy avoids a focus on any type of dysfunction or “illness” but rather striving to help clients reach their full potential. Furthermore, this approach believes that all individuals are essentially good and that social problems result in a deviation from this tendency. In therapy, I aim to target your productive and beneficial traits that we can use to work towards YOUR idea of happiness.
