About My Clients
I have experience working with children, teens, and adults, I understand the importance of creating a safe and affirming space for individuals of all backgrounds. I am LGBTQIA affirming and Neurodivergent affirming. I often support clients who are struggling with adjustment to big recent changes, anxiety depression, stress, and self-esteem. These are common mental health concerns that can impact a person's overall well-being, sense of self, and dealing with the stress of worry of daily life.
My Background and Approach
I'm originally from North Carolina and earned my MS in Counselor Education from East Carolina University. I am licensed in NC and WA (although only accepting clients in NC). I'm also a Nationally Certified Counselor. I believe the therapeutic alliance between a client and clinician can be a place for peace, healing, and safety. It can provide a time and place for you to process thoughts, feelings, and experiences related to the unpredictable world that we live in. As we work together we will build therapeutic goals to help focus our work together. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is key to assisting you in reaching your goals whether it be healing, dealing with stress, or leaning to accept yourself. I utilize an eclectic approach with a person-centered core to tailor my approach to meet you where you are and to build a strong therapeutic relationship. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Expressive Art techniques, mindfulness, and play therapy techniques.
