About My Clients

My clients may be struggling with anxiety, worry, decreased sense of enjoyment and motivation, and/or feelings of depression, especially during pregnancy or postpartum. They need someone to listen, support, encourage, and accept them where they are while helping them see hope. They want to have a place to fall apart, to process, and sometimes just to talk without judgment because that can be hard to find in the rest of life.

My Background and Approach

It can be so hard to seek therapy. Whether stigma, determination, or fear keeps you from going, the choice tends to come after a lot of other things haven’t worked. Thank you for braving something new and being willing to talk to someone, even if you are not entirely sure what you are willing to share yet. I will offer you respect, open communication, and a willingness to get creative to make sure our time together to find healing, safety, and stability. I use a strengths-based perspective to help my clients find that freedom, using their natural resources. Starting where you are at helps us form a mutual bond, create a safe space to rest from the difficulties of life, and explore stress at a natural pace. It is always an honor and privilege to be brought into the reality you uniquely experience. I look forward to every encounter.
