About My Clients
I love supporting clients through difficult life transitions and stressful events. I also enjoy helping people heal from the injuries of painful relationships and/or adverse childhood experiences. I also work with folks with depression, anxiety, panic attacks and more. Additionally, I support and coach parents and caregivers who suffer from guilt and or anxiety about their parenting, especially when they are determined not to repeat the parenting mistakes that their own caregivers made.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy is that of a collaboration. While I bring an outside perspective and a body of knowledge from my experiences and education, I believe that you are the expert in your own life. Furthermore, I believe that everyone has the ability within themselves to find mental health and peace. I see my job as being a supporter in those efforts. During our work together, this can look like a number of things, from helping you with specific coping skills or exploring the root causes behind your distress so that you are better able to make positive changes in your life. I have over 10 years of experience working as a consultant and behavioral health professional, and three years of experience working specifically as a mental health therapist. I have extensive trainings and experience in trauma and attachment work, in addition to experience working with those with depression, anxiety, panic disorder, and ADHD
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have experience not only with supporting others in their mental health journey, but navigating my own as well. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to meet someone new and share such intimate information about yourself (heads up, therapists can get a little nervous about meeting new clients too, even those who have been working for many years!). Please know that I welcome working with persons of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, abilities, body types, and socioeconomic statuses. I try sincerely to recognize the dynamic of intersectionality in my work with clients. When I'm not working, I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my husband and son; curling up with a good book and a cat (or two...or more!);listening to nerdy podcasts; and purchasing craft supplies that may or may not be used one day.
