About My Clients
I work with adult and teen (14+) individuals living with a variety of difficult symptoms including grief, trauma, obsessive compulsions, depression, and anxiety. I especially love working with neurodivergent clients and clients with anxiety.
My Background and Approach
My approach to counseling is person-centered and integrative, drawing interventions from multiple modalities depending on the individual needs, cultural background, and presenting issues of each client. The theories I usually draw inspiration from while counseling include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Polyvagal theory, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy. My goal as a therapist in training is to help you function optimally in all aspects of life by providing a safe space, unbiased viewpoints, challenging prompts, and compassionate inquiries. I believe everyone possesses innate wisdom and powerful healing within themselves, and through collaborative therapeutic efforts we can access those qualities within to help you lead a fulfilling, fun, and peaceful life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that each individual's unique perspective on the world makes it interesting. As humans we are innately worthy and unfathomably valuable. As a neurodivergent person who has also struggled with depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, stress disorders, and dissociative disorders, I approach counseling from a non-judgmental, relational perspective. My personal values lie in open-mindedness, communication, honesty, education, interconnectedness, and kindness. My interests include playing guitar, making art, DIY decor and home projects, movies, concerts, listening to audiobooks and comedy podcasts, volunteering with rescue dogs, paddleboarding, (really any activity involving water and dogs, I'm in), and spending time with friends and family.
