I am passionate about relational work because I feel like who we are in relationships defines and shapes how we feel about ourselves and the world. Relationships affect our motivation, lifestyle, and self-esteem. With connection, we can thrive, and without, we most definitely suffer. With my training in child development, Enneagram, personality assessments, family dynamics and a variety of systemic-based therapy approaches, I like clients to figure out how they have functioned and are currently functioning in their world. By providing insight about the role client’s play, they can change how they interact, who they surround themselves with, and find good support systems to thrive. This can be seen in my work of helping adoptive children attach to new parents, helping a young adult process childhood wounds, to help a partner leave an abusive marriage, or to help families realign their roles to be healthier. Whether I am seeing a client one-on-one or a family that fills every seat in my office, my overarching theme is looking at how each person attaches and functions in their greater system and the world. I firmly feel that you get out of therapy what you put into it. I often recommend readings, homework, and other exercises or supplements to therapy to holistically improve one’s mental health status. I work with other professional health providers to collaborate care and advocate with schools, the court system, and community supports if family’s needs my help. If you are ready to dig deep, do some hard work and self-reflection, and are open to making changes, my office might be a good place to get started. I look forward to our time together.
