My Approach

I am heart-centered, intuitive and relational in my approach. The relationships I create with my clients are everything. The quality of the work we do together stems from the quality of our relationship. And my intention is to build a relationship with you that feels safe, meaningful, and empowering.

In our sessions, I bring:

Humor (because laughter is medicine)

Humanness (because we aren’t robots)

Presence (because our container is your space to feel seen and heard)

Honesty (because deeper authenticity and intimacy is where the work lies)

In my practice, I value:

Commitment

Courage

Integrity

Self-care

Mutual Respect

 
 

My favorite part of being a therapist: the meaningful relationships I build with the brave individuals who let me into their worlds. What an honor. 

Traditional Theories I Utilize

Narrative Therapy

What story have you created about yourself and your life? How have your experiences shaped your story? Are you interested in making any edits that would feel healing and empowering?

Person-Centered Therapy

You are the expert of your life. No one will ever know you better than you do. You steer the ship in our sessions and I am your co-pilot. It’s an honor to join you on your journey.

The Therapeutic Container

My intention is to create a container that feels like we’re sitting down for a cup of tea together: Warm. Nurturing. Approachable.

My hope is that, as our relationship builds, you feel  safe to be yourself, fully. Together, we build a container that supports a deeper understanding of your feelings and needs. We practice open communication, and I encourage you to advocate for yourself. This could look like letting me know if I say something that doesn’t feel good for you (I make mistakes) or asking for clarity or sharing with me that you would like something in our relationship to shift. A successful relationship includes fine-tuning, honesty, and letting the other person truly see and know you. I want you to feel respected, and I ask for your respect in return.

You can count on me to be reliable, consistent and committed to our work together.

The Process

Therapy is a process. Trust and comfort are developed with time.

In What Happened to You? by Oprah and Bruce Perry, they share it takes about 10 sessions to feel safe in the therapy room. I agree. It’s normal to feel nervous as you get started. It’s normal to take your time and open up at a pace that feels okay for you.

For this reason, we go slow. 

We go slow to create safety.

We go slow to give your nervous system a break.

We go slow so you don’t keep missing yourself. 

We go slow to create a more natural rhythm for your life.

My favorite way to work with clients is in a long-term therapeutic relationship. I work best with those who want to do the slow, deep work that leads to lasting change.  

Here is an article I wrote for Austin Family Counseling on why I feel passionate about long-term work
