About My Clients
I work best with young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, family dynamics, identity, life transitions, people-pleasing, and feeling disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are used to being the strong one, overthinking everything, or putting everyone else first. You don’t have to have the perfect words or know exactly what you want from therapy. We can figure that out together.
My Background and Approach
I’m an MSW student therapist completing my clinical training at The Cozy Couch Counseling & Consulting. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. I often incorporate parts work, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and practical coping skills to help clients better understand their emotions, patterns, relationships, and nervous system. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. We may explore how past experiences influence what is happening now while also focusing on tools you can actually use outside of session. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, messy, unsure, funny, frustrated, or anything in between while learning to trust yourself a little more along the way.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people make the most sense when we consider the environments, relationships, systems, and experiences that have shaped them. Therapy should acknowledge that mental health does not exist in a vacuum. My work is grounded in social justice, cultural humility, bodily autonomy, LGBTQ+ affirmation, and respect for each person’s lived experience. I care deeply about reducing shame and stigma surrounding mental health, trauma, incarceration and reentry, identity, and asking for help. I also believe therapy can hold both seriousness and humor. Healing does not always have to look polished or profound. Sometimes it looks like setting a boundary, noticing what your body is telling you, questioning an old belief, laughing at a pattern you finally recognize, or simply admitting, “I don’t know.” All of that belongs here.
