About My Clients
Our teenage years through the end of our twenties are a period of immense changes in almost every area of our lives. We start our teenage years with the battle that is puberty and by the end of our twenties many of us are settling into careers and starting families of our own. But how do you navigate from point A to point B? Thats where I come in. I help people navigate this often difficult period of their lives.
My Background and Approach
I utilize an eclectic therapeutic style and tailor sessions to my clients needs. I primarily pull from person centered, narrative, and cognitive styles and ind that the most important place to start is to simply get to know one another. It's hard to open up to someone you don't know so I like to spend the first few meeting getting to know you and what make you the unique person you are. Once that trust is established I work with clients to determine what their goals are and what they are struggling with. Prior to starting private practice I worked in a variety of settings including: residential rehabilitation, in school, PHP, and community mental health. This variety has introduced me to multiple ways of looking at similar issues and has helped me to customize care based on my clients needs on any given day.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I fully believe that that there is a place for everyone to feel they belong, and that there is immense power in finding "your people" with whom you feel you can be yourself around. Togetherness and belonging can be found in the most unlikeliest of places. I bring this into my practice by helping people identify what different groups they may fit with, be it a small online group or a broader community. I am a member of the general geek/nerd community. I am also an ally of the LGBTQ+ community and take a strong anti- white supremest stance. I also believe that animals can be a very important part of a persons social support network and can provide a unique form of companionship. Animals can also help teach us important lessons about thing like consent, patience, and unconditional positive regard.
