About My Clients
I am here to provide you with some real-talk about the struggles of relationships, transitions, trauma, societal pressure, and self discovery in a safe judgmental free space. As a previous college athlete I have a passion for helping other athletes explore the role their sport plays or played in their life, assisting with mental performance, and processing the next stages of their life post athletics and honoring those experiences.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes we all come with strengths. Life gets tough at times trying to juggle who we are, heal from past experiences, and adapt to expectations placed on us. My approach is genuine, strength based, non traditional, focused on your individualized needs, full of humor, and drawing from many evidenced based practices to find effective results for you. I have several years of therapy experience conducting ABA therapy and working in county mental health with children, families, and adults with severe and persistent mental illness and co-occurring disorders. In the last two years I have been focusing on working with individuals in a private practice setting. I have a desire for supporting others in choosing how to look at the past, how to take in the present, and how to build your future.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I want clients to feel safe, supported, and able to be vulnerable in our sessions and learn more about themselves and how they want to move forward in their lives. I want to destigmatize mental health and people's views of what therapy is. I work hard to tailor therapy to your individual needs, and enjoy using humor, self-disclosure, and analogies (mainly about sports and reality TV) to connect during sessions! I believe that everyone is unique and therapy should match that energy. I bring my authentic self to each session, as I believe the therapeutic connection is vital for healing. Collaboration and authenticity are important to me and I hope to embody those values with everyone I work with.
