About My Clients

Do you ever feel like you are not enough, broken, exhausted, defeated or misunderstood? Like you're going through the motions and endure the day to day responsibilities, relationships, and/or expectations. Do you ever feel hopeless or struggle with unwanted thoughts, experience feelings of overwhelm and loneliness or isolation? Please know you are not alone. My drive is to work with people like you so you no longer have to endure life, but learn how to thrive. I look forward to working with you

My Background and Approach

Most of the pain that we experience as human beings, is pain that we experience alone, even if we are surrounded by people or loved ones. That can be very debilitating and lonely. My drive is that no one should go through their hardest chapters of life alone. However, sometimes it can be very hard to find someone to lean on. This is why I want to offer online therapy services. To make it more accessible to find support without having to worry about any obstacles that may stand in the way, and make it more convenient for you. We will work together to find the best therapeutic approach that works for you. I have worked in crisis centers for survivors of trauma, Domestic Violence, and Sexual Assault. Assisting clients when they need it most as an advocate, an educator, listener, and a counselor. I am trained in different therapeutic approaches that assist in all facets of healing. Let's work together to find which approach is the best fit in your healing journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that no one should go through their hardest chapters of life alone. While acknowledging that rarely can a space be completely safe, I believe deeply that the therapy space should allow clients to feel brave and seen. I am committed to doing my own work and unlearning through consultation, readings, and training to create that space for clients. I believe that therapy can be a space to explore your identity, find healing, process experiences and emotions, and more. I have a history of working in crisis centers, homelessness, family conflict, domestic violence and sexual assault. As a white, cis-female who has survived domestic violence and have a young son as a single mother, healing is deeply personal, as well as professional. My personal and professional values are inextricably intertwined. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and animals, reading romantasy books, gardening, and driving with the windows down!
