Life Tide Therapy LLC

At Life Tide Therapy practice I support individuals in navigating the "tides" of their lives, through a postmodern approach, offering compassionate, trauma-informed care that promotes healing and personal growth. I believe in harnessing life’s tides; fostering resilience and creating change through the power of relational and narrative therapy. I have experience working with individuals from a variety of ages, couples and families from diverse backgrounds. My areas of work have included but are not limited to struggles around anxiety, depression, identity concerns, self-esteem issues, trauma, life transitions, relational issues, and daily stressors. I use an eclectic approach, drawing from various practices such as relational therapy, narrative therapy, client-centered therapy, with some features of dialectical behavioral therapy, attachment and psychodynamic framework. I approach therapy through a mindfulness, justice-orientated, culturally sensitive, queer-affirmative, and a trauma informed lens. Partnering as a relational helper with creativity and adaptability, I work to craft engaging therapy sessions, fostering curiosity and innovation. I practice from a collaborative and non-pathologizing approach to support people in better understanding the difficulties that they experience and work to make visible their values and strengths to lead to healing. I believe in a relational process in which finding a therapist that is a "good fit" as the groundwork for a supportive, transformative process. Stepping into the therapeutic process is the first movement towards self discovery and growth.
