About My Clients
Do you feel worn down by anxiety, low mood, or the pressure to hold everything together? Maybe your mind races, you overthink, or you wake with no energy. Sometimes, it's a titanic struggle to get out of bed and go to work. My clients come to me wanting relief and a place where they don’t have to worry about being seen and heard. If you need tools to help your mind, body, and spirit, you’ll feel at home here. I'll create a unique, personalized treatment plan to help you move forward.
My Background and Approach
I’m a licensed professional counselor with experience supporting teens and adults through trying times. I have certifications as a Grief Support Specialist and have had training for Adoption Competency. My approach blends evidence‑based practices with a calm style so you can understand what’s happening in your mind and body and learn tools that create real relief. I draw from psychodynamics, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma‑informed frameworks to help you heal and move forward. My goal is to give you practical skills you can use anytime, so that you feel more prepared to meet the demands of daily life. I focus on you as a whole individual, so your childhood can provide clues about how you have been built and how you react to situations, not only in the present but also in the future. For many, your early coping skills may be insufficient to meet the demands of adult life. The key is to identify the root causes, name them, and move forward with an informed approach.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people grow when they feel safe enough to be honest and vulnerable, and I value compassion and making people feel heard. I will not check messages, send messages, or make calls during sessions. My job is to create a space where you are the most important person in the room. I care deeply about mental health access, men’s emotional wellbeing, supporting adoptees and their families, and leading people through the grieving that they don't understand is happening. I’m committed to returning things to the community. Before COVID, I launched and ran a nonprofit organization to help those who needed community. We provided clothes, food, and hygiene items, but most importantly, we created a space where volunteers ate with the people coming in. In turn, we invited those people to volunteer and gave them a sense of purpose. I believe healing is possible for anyone, and that change happens when you’re met with respect and a genuine human connection that honors you as a human being.
