About My Clients

I enjoy helping pre-teens all the way to adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, identity, life transitions, you name it. My ideal client is someone who shows up for themselves, and by making an appointment to see me they are doing exactly that. We are in this process together, with my helpful guidance and not as an expert of your life and your choices. I look forward to being that guide and filling your toolbox with knowledge and education.

My Background and Approach

Although I may be new to the counseling field, I do have experience working with kids to older adults ranging from all sorts of struggles. I pride myself in my honesty, informal approach, eclectic therapeutic style, and personal experience that guide the way I approach each client. Everyone comes in with something so unique and have experienced things differently, therefore, should be treated uniquely. It takes a lot of courage to admit that you need help, and even more so to seek it out. I know how scary it is to open up to a complete stranger or just to admit to ourselves that what we’re going through is bigger than us. It’s okay to not be okay. My hope is that you realize I’m not all that different from you. I’m not the perfect, well put together person sitting in front of you as many may perceive counselors to be. I believe providing you with psychoeducation, coping skills, and new tools to fill your toolbox with can help plant the seed for future growth and understanding.
