About My Clients
Many of the clients I work with outwardly present as put together and having most things under control. However, when we take a deeper look, they may be just barely treading water. Many of them are navigating burnout, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, or identity and role shifts. They want to better understand their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and how their experiences have shaped them into who they are today.
My Background and Approach
I have a background in individual and couples work. I received my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from North Carolina Central University in 2024. My therapeutic career started in a psychosocial rehabilitation center, providing individual and group counseling to high-risk adults. Now, I primarily work with young adult and adult individuals and couples. Many clients believe that a counselors job is to make them feel better. While this may be the wanted overall outcome of counseling, my role as a counselor is to help my client explore their emotions and experiences to better understand their impact and provide insight as to why certain things may be coming up. My goal is never to "fix you", but to help you reach the goals that you see for yourself and work with you to approach life more deliberately and like you have more control.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and change at any point in their lives. I have some clients who have been in counseling for years, and others who are taking the first step in their counseling journey. I think that we can all unlearn certain habits or behaviors that do not serve our best interest, and gain healthy ones that can take their place. After completing a Neurodivergent Competency Training last year, I have enjoyed working with individuals who have ADHD, Autism, or some form of neurodivergent traits. Along with neurodivergence, I have years of experience working with those who have anxiety, depression, or dealing with the effects of trauma. I understand how these things can take control and make you feel as though your life is being directed by them. I'd like to help you take back that control!
