About My Clients
I help individuals with major life stressors, trauma, life transitions, and anxiety. I work with teens and college students (adults, too) struggling with ADHD, and I am LGBTQ+ affirming. I also work with women and moms who are run down, overstimulated by life, triggered by their own trauma through parenting, want to re-discover who they are, and/or are dealing with perimenopause.
My Background and Approach
My approach is person-centered and strength-based, believing everyone has the capacity for self-healing and change. Counseling offers us the space to better understand ourselves in order to create change and address troubling or confusing thoughts and feelings. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and curious. I also embody a holistic approach, looking at the mind, body, and spirit. I find it helpful to examine unhelpful thoughts and patterns in order to discern if they fit with your goals and purpose. I want to help you navigate your internal world so that you may build upon strengths that already exist inside of you. I enjoy using mindfulness techniques and expressive arts when words don’t match the feelings that are present. I am patient and will work with you in a collaborative way to support your story and goals while also empowering and encouraging you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I consider myself to be an LGBTQ+ ally, as I myself have gay, trans, and non-binary members in my family. I have also worked with questioning folks to affirm and explore their identity. Aside from that, I believe in the power of meditation and manifestation (and all sorts of other "woo"). I believe the two of those go along really well with psychology and counseling, especially when it comes to working on ourselves and living our best lives.
