Forrester Therapy

Introduction: My approach is centered on helping you reach your goals. I offer a non-judgmental safe space to be open and vulnerable about your struggle and compassionately explore how your life can improve in ways that are meaningful for you. I believe in the idea of the wounded healer and it is through our common humanity that I relate to my clients, however unique. I also believe our problems don’t exist in a bubble, but the struggles we face also occur embedded in the larger systems of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, religion, and national identity. I love working with individuals, couples, and families and children with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, PTSD, attachment, grief, loss, miscarriage, food and body issues, anger, self-harm, mood disorders, life transitions, relationship issues, family of origin issues, teen issues, parenting, domestic violence, and healing after sexual abuse and assault. I have expertise in the trauma of the legal processes around the prosecution of sexual violence. I am LGBTQIA, kink, and poly friendly and have a focus on transgender issues. My approach is integrative of several models including: Psychodynamic theory, Family systems, Humanistic psychology, Internal Family Systems, Experiential Theory, Emotion Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Feminist Theory.
