About My Clients
While I genuinely love working with people from all walks of life, I specialize in working with adult survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other similar traumas. I also specialize in working with Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Minorities (GSRMs) which include those who are LGBTQ+, people who practice non-traditional relationships (non-monogamy, polyamory, swinging, open, etc.), BDSM/kink lifestyles, and more.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I received my Master's in Counseling from Argosy University in 2017. I am considered an Adlerian (psychodynamic), client-centered, and trauma-informed counselor. I operate from the approach that session topics for talk therapy are dictated by the client. "Trauma-informed" simply means that I've been trained in various techniques that assist with processing trauma, with my favorite being EMDR (but this is not a requirement) and my biggest goal is to give you the same knowledge on trauma that I have in order to be more compassionate and informed with yourself when issues arise. Being culturally-sensitive for all walks of life is a necessity in my therapeutic practice. I'll also utilize narrative, existential, feminist, and strength-based treatments sprinkled throughout as well.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
We are all seeking to be understood, embraced, and accepted while we navigate through life. Expecting these things from your therapist shouldn’t be a difficult ask, and you can count on me to be exactly that for you. I honor the step you’re taking and I celebrate your courage to get here. I work to create a safe space where your identity will be honored and respected and you are able to be your full, authentic self. I believe that in order to grow, we must first feel safe to do so. I look forward to finding out how I can best serve you so that you may find personal acceptance and peace!
