Authentic Way Counseling

I facilitate growth and change in my clients using an empathic, heart-centered approach that is informed by attachment science. My sessions are collaborative, insightful and highly personalized. I will empathically listen and challenge you to consider new perspectives. I work exclusively in an online setting which offers my clients flexibility and the opportunity to meet during non-traditional hours. INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING: I am not a sit and nod type of therapist, I believe in making the most of the time that you invest. I was intentional when I chose the name of my practice. The work that I do with clients is deep and at times, challenging. It's most effective for those who are introspective by nature and those who are interested in personal growth, lasting change, and learning how to set healthy boundaries. I have a special interest in working with individuals who identify as highly sensitive people (HSP), highly empathic (Empaths), and those who suffer from "Imposter Syndrome." These populations experience a type of anxiety that is often rooted in people pleasing and perfectionism. This type of client often finds self-care and setting healthy boundaries challenging. Utilizing EFT/EFIT allows me to take a deep dive into your cognitive and behavioral patterns and facilitate growth and healing. I DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE. Being paid privately by my clients, means that you and I determine the focus, frequency and length of your sessions. This allows me to protect your privacy and keep our work confidential. COUPLES COUNSELING: The focus of my work with couples involves identifying attachment styles, recognizing your negative interaction cycles and the underlying reasons behind those interactions. While good communication is a component of our work, just teaching you skills will not improve your relationship. Good communication begins with identifying your core values and utilizing the power of compassion and empathy. If you seem stuck in an endless cycle of perpetual conflicts, it is highly likely that you have lost compassion for each other and need help understanding your partner. I also help clients repair their relationship after infidelity and betrayal. When working with couples, I see your relationship as my client. I will work very hard to make both clients feel seen and heard. I DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE for couples counseling. The work that I do with couples is designed to improve your bond, communication, and intimacy. This is not typically covered by insurance. My couples sessions are 90 minutes, which is recommended by experts in the field. Extended sessions are also available. Doing work in an online setting allows me to offer flexibility and non-traditional appointment hours.
