About My Clients
My clients are adults who often feel overwhelmed on the inside while appearing to manage well on the outside. They may be dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, or major life transitions that leave them feeling stuck or uncertain about next steps. Many are navigating career decisions, relationship challenges, or patterns that no longer serve them. They come to therapy seeking clarity, emotional balance, and practical tools to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives.
My Background and Approach
I am a school counselor with four years of experience supporting adolescents through academic, social, and emotional challenges, as well as one year of experience providing therapy to young adults. My background gives me a strong understanding of the pressures students and emerging adults face, including anxiety, stress, identity development, and major life transitions. In my clinical work, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and a person-centered approach. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported while also working toward meaningful change. My style is both supportive and goal-oriented, focusing on helping clients develop practical coping strategies, increase emotional awareness, and build confidence in navigating daily life. I believe therapy works best when it is both reflective and actionable.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that people heal and grow most effectively when they feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. Everyone has the capacity for change, but often benefits from space to slow down, make sense of their experiences, and build tools for moving forward with clarity and self-trust. My perspective is shaped by my experience as a school counselor and therapist, as well as my volunteer work at a camp for grieving children, which has deepened my commitment to compassion in the context of loss and emotional pain. I strive to create an affirming and inclusive space and proudly support and affirm LGBTQ+ clients. I also believe in the grounding and healing presence of animals, and value the comfort and connection they can bring to people’s lives.
