What is counseling like with me?

My work

I specialize in humanistic, person-centered counseling, and I also draw on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we’ll seek a balance between gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and using practical strategies, so you leave therapy feeling supported and heard, as well as equipped with tools to manage life outside of sessions. 

At the start of therapy, we’ll explore your past and how it has shaped your present, as well as your goals and dreams for yourself. We’ll revisit and adjust these as our work unfolds, and explore active steps you can take between sessions to move forward.

Each session is yours: sometimes it will be a space to express and explore your feelings and experiences, and other times it will be a chance to practice tools that reduce stress, regulate emotions, or help you face challenges. I’ll provide options and structure, and you decide the focus and pace.

Me especializo en el counseling humanista y centrado en la persona, y también utilizo técnicas de la Terapia Cognitivo Conductual (TCC) y de la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT). Juntos buscaremos un equilibrio entre lograr una comprensión más profunda de ti mismo y el uso de estrategias prácticas, para que salgas de la terapia sintiéndote apoyado y escuchado, además de contar con herramientas para manejar la vida fuera de las sesiones.

Al inicio de la terapia, exploraremos tu pasado y cómo ha dado forma a tu presente, así como tus metas y sueños personales. Iremos revisando y ajustando estos aspectos a medida que avancemos en el proceso, y también exploraremos pasos activos que puedas llevar a cabo entre sesiones para seguir avanzando.

Cada sesión es tuya: a veces será un espacio para expresar y explorar tus sentimientos y experiencias, y otras veces será una oportunidad para practicar herramientas que reduzcan el estrés, regulen tus emociones o te ayuden a enfrentar desafíos. Yo te brindaré opciones y estructura, y tú decides el enfoque y el ritmo.

BUSINESS ASIDE

I spend my free time with family & friends, finding books I can’t put down, inventing new recipes, hiking, taking endless pictures of my cat and walking my puppy.

If we end up working together these two will probably make an appearance at some point!

Permission to ramble

To feel multiple feelings at once
To change your mind

To say something without knowing for sure
If that’s what you think

To be full of contradictions

To take up space

To be heard
To have opinions
To be silly
To be serious
To ask for what you need
