THERAPY STYLE
Short and sweet: My goal is to help you achieve your goals.
As your therapist, I will provide you with tools, insight, and unconditional support. Here’s a quick breakdown of how therapy works with me:
1. Exploring your wants/needs to help you identify your goals in a safe, judgment-free space
2. Breaking down your goals into manageable steps
3. Identifying your strengths and areas for improvement
4. Figuring out what barriers may be holding you back
5. Learning how to communicate, set boundaries, reframe unhelpful thoughts, etc.
6. Reflecting and celebrating your progress
Therapy is a process and, in my belief, a team effort. There is no topic off limits in therapy and there are no “silly” or “stupid” thoughts/feelings. So, if you want help learning how to advocate for yourself, navigate a relationship, manage stress, process past trauma, and more, let’s do it. Together.
