A Little About Myself
I am a woman, mother, dog-mommy, sister, daughter, grandmother, friend, human... I am Me.
Like many others it took time to be unapologetically, eyes wide open, thankfully me.
My ultimate passion is self-care and my happy place in life is family and all the good, bad, crazy, and warmth of unity and love that comes along with it. My happiest moments are during the belly aching, doubled over, laughing until you cry moments. Not only is it fun and engaging, I find it to be a huge stress reliever.
I’ve learned that family, friends, and life can be unpredictable, and cannot be placed in a perfect little box. Our unity and reality is what we make of it, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone. And why would it? Everyone is different. I celebrate and embrace that!
Sometimes family dynamics and relationships become estranged, leaving behind heartache, loneliness, confusion, bitterness, and so many other hurtful and unwanted feelings. With your permission I’d like to help you focus on opening the door of communication. To set boundaries and limits within yourself and with those around you; while being open and vulnerable to the unfamiliar, to being uncomfortable, and to rebuild and strengthen what was once perceived as broken, hopeless, and/or lost. To find a direction of change and healing.
Me, As Your Therapist
Therapy is more than a word or a place to talk. It’s your space, a place of support, and understanding. A safe space to be uniquely YOU.
As your therapist, I am honored to get to know you, and explore your vision, goals, and journey towards a fulfilled and balanced life. I am passionate about creating a space for self-discovery, self-acceptance, and a place to be seen, heard, and valued.
I work with individuals to support better function within the complex systems of family and society. I enjoy exploring your upbringing, and how it affected your relationships. I specialize in early childhood, family systems, and couples. I have extensive experience helping individuals use assertive communication to set boundaries in their relationships.
I also use a variety of family and attachment-based approaches to strengthen relationships and communication between family members.
My therapeutic approach includes various theoretical frameworks including DBT, CBT, Strength-Based, and Attachment-Based Therapy.
We will work together to identify and improve any fears, anxiety, relationships, and reduce bothersome behaviors and symptoms impacting your happiness.
I invite you on this wonderful, purposeful, journey of living with more intention and I look forward to meeting with you!
