I work with clients to identify goals and to support them through the process of improving stressors triggered by challenging transitions, complex relationships, and past trauma in order minimize symptoms of anxiety and depression. Words that are often used by my clients are “stuck” and “powerless.” Though struggles with mental health are usually perceived as “individual problems,” I work with a client to better understand how outside pressures and the systems we interact with impact us and our mood. One would learn push back against those pressures in order to promote change, minimize mental health symptoms, and to feel more empowered. I incorporate Post-Modernist therapy approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Social Justice Therapy into my practice. I invite clients to learn more about how the physiology of the brain impacts our mental health, our relationships, and our mood.
