About My Clients
I work with teens and adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. Whether you're navigating a life change or struggling day to day, you're not alone. I offer personalized, one-on-one support to help you understand what you're feeling, build real tools, and create meaningful change. My approach is warm, practical, and tailored to you. This is a safe, pressure-free space to explore what’s going on and move toward feeling more grounded and connected.
My Background and Approach
At Connection Counseling LLC, I specialize in helping teens manage and overcome anxiety. My approach is direct, collaborative, and solution-focused. We’ll start by addressing what’s happening right now—panic attacks, racing thoughts, and fear—and I’ll teach you tools you can use immediately to feel calmer and more in control. I’ve spent over 10 years refining techniques that are brain-based, practical, and easy to use anywhere. You’ll leave with at least five strategies tailored to your needs—exercises you can carry with you to quickly calm your body and mind. Together, we’ll build real skills and lasting resilience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe change is always possible. Most mental health challenges come from patterns we’ve learned—often to survive. But those patterns can be unlearned and replaced with healthier ones. As someone with anxiety and ADHD, I know how hard it can be when your own brain won’t cooperate. I had panic attacks as a kid, and therapy helped me learn tools that gave me freedom. I haven’t had a panic attack in years, and I want you to feel that same relief. I believe in being real, compassionate, and inclusive. I support the LGBTQIA+ community and show up for causes I care about. Also, I believe the Portland Trail Blazers are the best NBA team—but I promise not to judge if you don’t agree. Let’s talk if you’re ready for support.
