About My Clients
I am passionate about providing inclusive, affirming, and effective mental health support for individuals (age 8+), couples, and families. My specialties and focus areas include adolescent/teen mental health, attachment and relationship dynamics, family conflict and transitions, LGBTQ+, secular premarital counseling, self-harm and suicidal ideation, trauma and PTSD and veterans/military & first responder mental health.
My Background and Approach
I have previous experience in varying mental health professions. I have extensive experience in outpatient counseling and crisis intervention. I have counseled individuals, couples and families of all ages walking through many different areas of life transitions and challenges. I have also previously worked for a 24 hr crisis hotline and served as a co-responder, responding to 911 calls (mental health in nature) with local law enforcement officers. I believe my diverse employment background supplements my education and offers me valuable first hand knowledge. My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, empathy, and respect and incorporates different trauma informed practices and counseling modalities. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, feelings, and goals. Together, we’ll identify the strategies and tools that work best for your unique needs and create a path forward toward healing and personal growth.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Please know, I have a deep appreciation for the courage it takes to begin therapy and it is an honor and privilege to walk alongside you. I believe that therapy is a deeply personal and transformative experience, and I approach every client with warmth, empathy, and respect for their unique journey. My goal is to create an open, non-judgmental environment where you can explore, heal, and grow. If you're ready to take the first step, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can explore your challenges, celebrate your strengths, and work toward achieving the changes you seek.
