About My Clients

On the outside, you seem like you’ve got it all together. But inside? It’s a different story. You feel lost, second-guessing yourself at every turn. The overthinking, the self-doubt, the worry; it’s exhausting. You keep ending up in the same frustrating situations, making the same choices that don’t serve you, and you don’t know why. Maybe you’re struggling with a breakup, buried under imposter syndrome, stuck in chronic people-pleasing, or carrying the weight of past trauma. I'm here for you.

My Background and Approach

Life can be extremely chaotic and it’s easy to feel you’ve lost your way. Together, we will develop the skills you need to cope, build confidence, recognize your worth & reclaim your life. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the mental health field for 15+ years. I'm realistic with a side of woo. My services are integrative. I utilize mindfulness, EMDR, brainspotting, acceptance and commitment, strengths-based, narrative, and solution-focused techniques For more information on my background and experience, check out my website at clearpathcounselingllc.com

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

No one has all their shit together, including me, so bring me your chaos and let’s dig in! When I’m not working, I spend way too much time eating tacos, listening to 90’s rap, and bingeing reality TV. I’m fun, in a boring kind of way. I believe in supporting people's humanity, not debating it.
