Affirming Therapy

In therapy, we’ll explore what's on your mind, how your past experiences are influencing you today, and how it’s connecting to the larger context of your life. Together we’ll identify goals and the path to achieve them. I'll support you in navigating the steps, while ensuring our work is focused and purposeful.

We’ll work toward gaining clarity about your stressors, self-care, and boundaries; increasing coping strategies to help manage daily ups and downs; improving communication; and building confidence. During sessions and in between, you’ll get to practice strategies that are tailored to your needs and I’ll give you feedback.
