About My Clients

Are you ever afraid another episode of anxiety is going to sneak up on you? Do you find yourself feeling down or uninterested in things that used to bring you joy? Or maybe you've experienced trauma and it’s holding you back from moving forward in life. These problems can be overwhelming, and it can feel daunting to deal with them on your own. I want to help you uncover what might be getting in the way of meaningful and authentic living, and I am looking forward to assisting you in the process.

My Background and Approach

I offer telehealth and in-person counseling to people with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and relationship problems. I also have experience working with LGBTQ+ folx and people with disabilities. The space I provide in therapy is open and accepting so that you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences without any judgement. I use a trauma-focused framework, and work collaboratively at the pace that you prefer, in uncovering those difficult and painful feelings that have been preventing you from authentic living. We will make goals together to create a path to achieve what it is you are looking to accomplish, and I will be there with you supporting you along the way. There is absolutely nothing off the table. The more we get to know about where your problems came from, the more powerful your healing can be. I want to help you get to the root of your problems so that they can be processed productively, and so that your healing will have long-term effectiveness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that anybody can benefit from engaging in therapy, regardless of what life experiences you have had. Whether you feel like your problems are large or small, they are as equally valid and deserving of assistance in helping resolve them. Sometimes it can be difficult to ask for help, and I think it is one of the bravest things that someone can do. I have personally reached out for help through therapy many times in my life, and the support I have received has ultimately led me to working in the field of counseling so I can do the same thing for you. I think that we all have learned some unhelpful behaviors throughout life which can be hard to identify and change. I want to help you uncover what might be getting in the way of meaningful and authentic living, and I am looking forward to assisting you in the process.
