My Ideal Client

Do you find it easier to take care of others than to make time for yourself? You may be feeling overwhelmed and looking for ways to be kinder to yourself. Or maybe you are navigating changes in your relationships and want to create healthier boundaries. I support caregivers and helping professionals reduce burnout and reconnect with themselves. I also support individuals who are exploring their spirituality, whether you have left a rigid religion or are interested in alternative practices.

My Approach to Helping

As a counselor I see my role as helping you explore the options in your life so you can decide which one is best for you. Having an outside perspective can help you notice patterns in your life that are no longer working for you. Making changes is hard, and I encourage you to be compassionate with yourself during this process. My approach is collaborative, checking in regularly to make sure we are focusing on the issues that are most important to you. I often use mindfulness exercises to help you stay grounded and focus on the present. We may use creative exercises to explore your emotions. We can explore patterns in your life so you can begin to make intentional changes. We may discuss your spiritual practices to help you develop meaningful rituals for self-care.

My Values as a Therapist

I believe everyone is the expert in their own story. As a multiracial, cisgender female, I know my life experiences will differ from yours. I do my best to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to reflect on all of your experiences. My role as a counselor is to help you clarify what is most important to you, and help you cope with obstacles to living the life you want. I can help you look at situations from different perspectives and explore your options. I want you to feel empowered to make the best decisions for yourself. Since most of your life is lived outside of my office, I have found journaling to be an effective way to reflect on how you're feeling between sessions and can help us focus our work together. Journaling is also an important part of my personal self-care practice.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Solution Focused Brief Therapy External link

    I use a solutions-focused approach to help you identify your strengths and work toward your goals. I provide time each session to reflect on what was most helpful, and clarify what you want to work on between sessions.

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) External link

    I regularly use cognitive behavioral techniques to help you identify your thoughts and beliefs. As we get clearer about your thoughts, we can re-frame the beliefs that are no longer working for you. You can learn to separate your thoughts and feelings, so you feel less reactive to challenging situations.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) External link

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you focus on the parts of your life you can control. I can support you in getting clear about your values and help you make more intentional choices. You will learn grounding skills to help you cope with stress. We may use metaphors or mindfulness practices to help you understand where you are getting stuck and practice new ways of responding to difficult situations.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Family Caregiving External link

    Caregiving is stressful and you may be feeling overwhelmed trying to make everyone happy! I can help you be compassionate as you find a way to balance your needs and the needs of others. You may have mixed feelings about being in the role of caregiver, and I provide a safe place for you to express all of your feelings. You may also be adjusting to changes in your relationships, and I can support you in improving your boundaries with your family.

  • Spirituality External link

    I am familiar with earth-based spiritual traditions, and use Tarot for personal growth. I respect all religious traditions, and recognize that you can be spiritual whether or not you consider yourself religious. I can help you reflect on your previous experiences with religion, and explore what role you want spirituality to play in our life. I have experience supporting clients who have left the religion they were raised in or have different values from their family.

  • Personal Growth External link

    My practice focuses on helping you understand yourself better so you can live a life that is meaningful to you. It is often hard to notice patterns in our own life. As a counselor I can provide an outside perspective to help you look at things in new ways.

  • Anxiety External link

    Anxiety often involves ruminating on the past or worrying about the future. During counseling we will practice mindfulness exercises to allow you to stay grounded and present.
