About My Clients
My ideal clients are aged 16 & up. I work w/both individuals & couples. I am compassionate, empathetic, & a tiny bit sarcastic. I value my client’s openness, honesty, & authenticity (even when it’s hard & even when it’s not pretty). I’m a real person who hasn’t arrived & will not pretend to be anything other than that. Ideal clients understand that & maybe even appreciate it. I’m not judgmental & I’ve pretty much heard it all. So come on and ma an appointment. Let’s get started on that healing.
My Background and Approach
My background is working with depression, anxiety, past trauma, and couples counseling. I use an internal family systems informed approach to help clients distance themselves from feelings of shame, explore the meaning behind emotions, motivations, and behavior, and learn to appreciate and understand themselves better. I’m also good at helping map life trajectories, building communication skills, and finding inner strengths for clients.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am passionate about clients understanding themselves and finding foundational life changing acceptance from within. Whether you are straight or a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, whether you are religious or not, and regardless of your race, ethnicity, or background… regardless of what someone has said about you… you matter. If you don’t believe that then let me help you believe it. Having spent a majority of my life disliking myself and misunderstanding my own strengths and abilities I am determined to help others break the habit. I love animals and frequently brake for turtles and other creatures. I believe people should be who they are without judgement and I’m currently doing my best to live out that authenticity. I’m not sure what other relevant facts I can put here but basically I like helping people live their lives by becoming the best versions of themselves. Maybe that’s what you are looking for? If so, let’s talk.
