Therapy doesn’t end when our session does—it’s a journey supported by daily habits. Tools like journaling, mindfulness, goal setting, and grounding techniques can help you stay focused and resilient. You might also explore movement, better sleep routines, and personal growth practices to support your well-being. Throughout our work together, I’ll offer tools to help you carry this growth forward.
I take a holistic, personalized approach to therapy—blending mindfulness and wellness practices with evidence-based methods like existential, attachment-based, and person-centered therapies. I stay up to date with the latest research to support your well-being naturally, nurturing mind, body, and spirit.
Discovering your core values is about identifying the principles that truly resonate with who you are at your deepest level. These values serve as your inner compass, guiding your choices, relationships, and actions. When you live in alignment with your core values, you cultivate a life that feels authentic, purposeful, and deeply fulfilling.
Exploring your core beliefs involves uncovering the deeply ingrained thoughts and convictions that shape your perception of yourself and the world around you. These beliefs influence your decisions, reactions, and relationships, often without you even realizing it. By examining and challenging these beliefs, you can create space for growth, self-discovery, and a more empowered way of living.
Shifting your perspective is about looking at challenges and experiences from a new angle, allowing you to see possibilities instead of obstacles. It opens the door to growth by transforming how you respond to life’s ups and downs. With a change in perspective, you can find greater clarity, resilience, and a sense of peace, even in the most difficult situations.
Finding purpose is a journey of discovering what truly lights you up and brings meaning to your life. It’s about connecting with your values, passions, and strengths, and using them to guide your decisions and actions. When you align your path with your deeper sense of purpose, life becomes a more fulfilling and intentional venture.
Each approach provides a unique lens through which we can explore your challenges, and together, we’ll find the best path for you.
