About My Clients
My ideal client is someone in their teens or early adult years who identifies as female and is willing to put in the work to accomplish their goals. My clients are ready to have a collaborative relationship where they accept my guidance but ultimately act as the experts of their own stories. They are willing to reflect on their own thought patterns and behaviors and dive deeper into the things that ail them. My clients are willing to work together to create clear, achievable goals.
My Background and Approach
I graduated with my Master of Social Work from Metropolitan State University of Denver in May, 2024. I currently have my Clinical Social Work Candidate (SWC) temporary permit, and I am providing therapy under the supervision of Haley Lafferty, LCSW. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, and chronic pain and illness. I meet each client where they are at and develop a unique plan to help them reach their goals based on their needs and beliefs. I use strengths-based therapy and Motivational Interviewing (MI) with everyone, and further tailor my approach to include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based therapy, narrative therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), based on client preference. I use a trauma-informed, culturally humble lens with each client, and always respect client boundaries and values. I strongly believe each client has unique strengths that I can help them tap into to help guide them where they want to be.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and understand the importance of providing safe, non-judgmental care. I am also a person who has experience living with a TBI, chronic illness, anxiety, and depression, so I can relate to many of the struggles my clients are facing. Even if I cannot relate, I come to each session with empathy, ready to listen, learn, and guide my clients. I do not personally practice any religion but I do believe in spirituality in my personal life. I connect best with clients who share similar agnostic beliefs, but am happy to work with clients of any background and faith. I also believe in the healing powers if nature and music and will happily incorporate these things into our sessions if they resonate with you. I love to travel and spend time with my pets, and deeply value creating a work-life balance with an emphasis on self-care.
