About My Clients
Do you feel trapped by peri/postpartum issues, gender-related concerns or intense emotional experiences? It can be overwhelming and hard to know where to start, I can help provide you the tools you need to help you navigate these trying experiences. For years, I have been helping my clients feel empowered, heard and supported (but most of all, better). If you feel isolated, scared or simply don't know where to begin - reach out and see if I am a good fit for you.
My Background and Approach
The tools that I provide my clients help them to start feeling immediately are evidence-based practice that can help you feel better and safer in any situation. We will address your unique concerns and come up with a treatment plan that suits you, I do not use a "one size fits all" approach to counseling. I use EMDR to better serve my clients who feel "stuck" and I always take a trauma-informed approach to care so that no one feels "rushed" or "pushed too hard." I will help you focus on what you feel is important: navigating the stress of parenting, setting healthy boundaries, building self-esteem/healthy self-love, developing coping skills for anxiety that can help you feel more safe, and can also help clients explore their feelings about sexuality and gender. I create a space of collaboration with my clients - you are the expert about your life and experience, I am simply a helper to facilitate growth and healing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone encounters struggle in their lifespan. However, I do not believe we are challenged with anything that we cannot learn to overcome. I do not look at behaviors as "bad" or "good" - I simply see them as ways we learned to survive at any given time. Which means that I think you can unlearn the behaviors that do not serve you and replace them with healthy ones. As a young mom, I suffered with postpartum depression and issues with my sexuality. Through my own therapy, I learned how to handle my emotions/experiences so they didn't continue to highjack my parenting experience. I love gardening (although Phoenix is not always ideal for this hobby) and being outside. I make it a point to support the LGBTQ+ and social justice communities, as well as those in recovery from addiction.
