My Approach:
Action-Oriented
I work with women who are ready to heal. As a result, my approach is focused on targeted, actionable plans that can change your life. If you are unwilling, or unready, to try new ways of thinking, engaging, and living your life, you likely will not experience the optimal benefit of working together. That is why I offer a 30-min introductory consultation so we can get to know one another and see if my style is a fit for your needs.
Sharing Openly
I have personally struggled with OCD and high functioning anxiety for years. I know firsthand how it is to feel misunderstood, to feel that your brain works in a way that others don’t understand, and I know the pain and isolation that comes from acting “normal” for others and suffering in silence. When supportive and appropriate, I am open and honest about my experiences, allowing clients to feel less alone and more comfortable doing the same. And, because I have '“been there,” my clients don’t have to spend time and energy explaining the “ins-and-outs” of their thinking process to me. Instead, we get right to work.
“I LOVE that you don't allow me to get away with anything that doesn't serve me. I appreciate your willingness to share valuable insights with me that probably took you years to learn through a lot of tears and mistakes. Your authenticity, wit, and compassion make it feel like I'm talking to my best friend!!”
- Riley M.
“I'm just so grateful for how upfront you are about the places you found yourself at the beginning of your anxiety journey and how open you are about continued struggles and the tools you use. You are such a valuable resource. I feel so lucky to have worked with you.”
- Courtney B.
Embracing Vulnerability
Working with me requires a level of vulnerability clients may not have allowed themselves to express before. While this may seem scary to those who have a pattern of avoiding vulnerability, I work to create a trusting partnership with all of my clients so that we can get to the work that really matters. While I am an expert in mental health, I believe no one is more of an expert in what they need than themselves. There are no strange power dynamics here - in our work together, I serve as a guide and teammate, helping clients get more in touch with their truth and championing them to believe in, and embrace, their potential.
Holistically Minded
Some healers and coaches promise a quick fix with a “system” they’ve created. I do not promise a cure-all and am afraid I don’t have a magic method to achieve instant results. Instead, we will spend our time together thoughtfully and honestly exploring what it is you really want and need, and discover what physical, mental, or emotional blocks are in your way. During that time, we’ll develop a holistic plan catered to your body and lifestyle allowing you to achieve something even better than a quick fix; deep, nourishing, and lasting improvements to your quality of life.
