About My Clients

My clients are generally within the range of adolescents, young adults, and middle-aged humans struggling to find purpose in the midst of new and overwhelming situations. They are facing adversity and in need of a safe space to be honest in order to discern the most healing way forward. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, are completely welcome. Have unique niche with those experiencing physical health issues, along with those desiring to incorporate faith into the therapy process.

My Background and Approach

My approach is to create an environment clients can experience and build a supportive, secure attachment that will give them strength and courage to be fully who they are in the midst of crazy situations. I use aspects of DBT and Internal Family Systems to help clients identify underlying fears and protective parts that may be getting in the way of clients living wholly and fully alive. I have a lot of experience in working with underserved populations (and love it), and those with chronic mental and physical illness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am Catholic & love integrating that when clients are interested, primarily through meditative prayer and forming mantras based on Scripture.
