About this provider
Clients I Work With
As a school-based therapist I have worked with children, adolescents and their parents on all kinds of challenges that are barriers to joy and healthy daily functioning. In my private practice I shift my focus more to working with adult clients that are in a rut or experiencing anxiety or in some way not feeling fulfilled. I recently got trained in EMDR and I am looking forward to focusing my skills on helping adult clients who are struggling with emotional eating and want to change their relationship with food for a healthy life.
Approach
I do spend quite bit of time on a client's history and trying to assess past experiences that has influenced who they are today. I assist in helping client's identify the gifts they have gained even during difficult times and disappointments. I am a mindful therapist and focus on the mind body connection. I focus on understanding how our brains are wired to engage in unhelpful thinking patterns or behaviors that don't serve us. I want to support client's in understanding themselves and to give grace to mistakes and setbacks developing a positive relationship with themselves. I would love to connect to see what is helpful for you.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
It is such a privilege to be a therapist and hear a person's story. I believe that therapy should not be open ended and I focus on setting goals for an improved quality of life you as the client can feel.
More About My Practice
I have two registered associates in my practice with different specialities. Jesse comes from a Gestalt relationally focused approach and does not diagnose or bill insurance. Euodia is EMDR trained and works families and adult client's who are experiencing anxiety and depression or clients with traumatic experiences.
