About My Clients
My clients are the best clients. I see mostly teenagers and young- adults. Although, I do have a wide range in ages from 11- 70. Teens are my favorite group to work with. They are honest, fun, and generally have a pretty positive outlook on their future. It is challenging and so rewarding to be someone that they feel they can share anything with. I also enjoy working with parents to help to strengthen their relationship with their kiddos.
My Background and Approach
I completed my clinical hours in the MNU undergraduate counseling department. This is where I fell in love with working with teens + young adults. My approach, or the glasses I pop on when I am interacting with a client, is attachment. Cliche? Perhaps. But, it is absolutely where it all starts. I look through the attachment glasses - use a client - centered approach, and offer cognitive- behavioral, solution- focused, and sometimes emotion-focused interventions. The intervention is determined by the specific client and the unique presenting issue.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a mama, a wife, and a Christ follower. I want that upfront. They "say" that you should leave yourself at the door. We can "say" that. But it just isn't true. Your beliefs, convictions, past, morals, childhood etc. It all contributes to what makes a person unique. I cannot separate those things from me or from the way I do therapy. However, I understand that not everyone has those same beliefs. I only bring Christian perspectives into the equation when the client asks for that to be included.
