I know that trying to find the right therapist is daunting process, so let me give you a sense of how I work. Most appreciate how engaged & active I am, We will explore not only the reasons for your difficulties, BUT more importantly, how stress affects your body; how you internalize thoughts of self & others. Thoughts lead to-> Beliefs -> Habits; automatic responses. I will give you tools to help with difficult emotions. I specialize in: 1) postpartum, 2) trauma/grief, 3) non-traditional family formation, 4) adoption, 5) ThirdCultureKid, 6) LGBTQ. I am open to explore non-traditional methods to assist you in the healing process. Other client populations I have worked with are expats & TCKs, helping them readjust to this culture. I also have much experience working with children and teens. I can help parents figure the best way to address their child's challenges at home/school by providing "Executive Facilitator Role/Parent Consultation." Many of my clients with prior therapy experience appreciate that I am very engaged and interactive --> my style is relational, experiential, humanistic; I provide specific tools to clients that can be easily used in between sessions. I provide free phone consult so that we can determine good client-therapist fit.
