What should people thinking about therapy with you, know about you?

So a little bit of what it's like to work with me. I first love to work on just building that trust and that connection between you and I, so that you feel completely safe being able to talk about whatever it is that you came into therapy to explore or to address and recover from that feeling that you are able to be comfortable in your own skin and in that space with me is super important and that's where I always start with my clients. The next thing is I like to really get an assessment of your strengths and talents, your innate abilities and the qualities that make you special. These are things that we come back to time and time again and I'm always kind of building sort of my, my internal mental model of of you and what you bring in those different ways, because I like to help my clients access those things when we're talking about areas that are much more difficult, right and finding ways to translate the special skills and abilities from one area to another. That's a lot easier said than done so I love to support my clients through that process, and eventually it becomes something that they get really good at like replicating and catching that and learning how to do that for themselves. And so that's a big part of the work that I do. I also love to use mindfulness and yoga if you're comfortable with that to help you get unstuck and access different parts of your emotional and spiritual body, so that you're able to really process emotions and even past them, maybe kind of resigning in your system and haven't really worked their way through. I'm a strong believer that things need to be expressed. Not in a haphazard way right not in a careless way, but there's a way in which we need to express and kind of move experiences through our systems so that we can really be free of them, as well as have better control over how they impact us being able to use them for great information as opposed to being controlled by those things. So that's a huge part of the way I work as well. And I also have just an extensive humungous toolbox of coping skills and different exercises and homework. I do assigned homework that I love to use for my clients. And again it's all in service of getting them relief as quickly as possible so they can go back to, like they recognize themselves right and that they are happy to be, you know where they are at this point in life. And so that they can begin to see a way not only just through the current situation. But to begin to work on goals that they have for themselves into the future, like getting excited about what else is possible, and being able to explore those things as well. So that's a little taste of what it's like to work with me. If that sounds like a great fit for where you are today, please don't hesitate to reach out and give me a call.
