About My Clients
I realize it was likely a collection of stressful or difficult life experiences that led you here. I believe those stressful difficult experiences can cause a disconnection between who we are, who we want to be, and who we think we should be. This disconnection can keep you from living a life filled with self-compassion, self-appreciation, and self-love. If this resonates with you and you feel a disconnection from yourself or in life I'd be happy to help support you on your healing journey.
My Background and Approach
I aim to help you effectively and meaningfully grow by providing a calm, safe space, where we can work together to figure out what it is you need or want on your healing journey. I believe a supportive, open, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship is a vital part of effective therapy. Without a strong trusting connection, therapy can only go so far. I aim to develop and strengthen that relationship from our first meeting. I may be the therapist, but you're the expert on you. I'm merely a guide. You're the director. I'm trained in EMDR. I approach treatment from a Humanistic, Trauma-Informed, Cognitive Behavioral, Culturally Competent, and Here & Now perspective. It's my genuine hope that through our work together, you'll begin to feel capable and possibly inspired to find small moments of peace and joy. It's in those small moments, when those small pieces of peace, joy, and inspiration come together, you can begin to feel connected and whole once again or for the first time.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Simply put I'm a therapist because I'm a survivor of Teen Dating Violence. Also a trauma survivor. Here's the thing, trauma isn't simple. It's not easy to ignore. I know firsthand. So eventually I realized I wanted to support others through their stuff. I've heard time and again that people who once needed healing end up becoming healers. That's me! Through my own therapy I found healing and a way forward. Through becoming a therapist I found my passion. My passion is the person... Who needs support, but doesn't know how to ask. Who thinks they don't need support, but is therapy curious. Who is trying to leave a violent relationship. Who is trying to survive day by day in a violent relationship. Who wants to heal. Who is slowly seeing their intergenerational trauma. Who has panic attacks. Who can't get out of bed in the morning. Who tries to be a good parent despite struggling with their own mental health. My passion is you. I'm a therapist to help you. Feel free to reach out.
