I am drawn to this work because self-esteem impacts nearly every part of our lives. In sessions, I focus on helping clients notice patterns in self-talk, explore core beliefs, and begin shifting toward self-neutrality. One of the most meaningful parts of this work is witnessing a shift from harsh self-criticism toward a more balanced and neutral internal voice.

Identity exploration is so important because it shapes how we move through and experience the world. In sessions, I’ll encourage clients to explore interests, values, core beliefs, and internalized messages. In this work, I am most moved by shifts toward self-acceptance and alignment, when clients begin to feel more grounded in who they are and how they want to live.

I am a firm believer that anxiety is a tool for navigating the world that sometimes over-exerts itself. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety and pay close attention to thought patterns, internalized messages, and the ways anxiety shows up in daily life. I get curious with clients about what their anxiety is trying to do for them and how they can incorporate mindfulness to both appreciate and manage their anxiety. It is especially meaningful when clients are able to acknowledge and appreciate the intention of their anxiety while still staying grounded when it’s present.
