About My Clients

My ideal client is someone who has done their best to hold things together but feels ready to stop surviving and start truly healing. They may carry unresolved trauma, chronic anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm that affects their relationships, work, or sense of peace. They often feel deeply, are insightful, self aware, and tired of the same patterns repeating. They want to have relief and clarity, to feel safe in their body, confident in their decisions, and connected to themselves.

My Background and Approach

As a neurodivergent person myself, I am able to deeply connect with those that are historically misunderstood. My approach is a combination of holistic approaches combined with cognitive approaches, based on what I see fit for the client and what the clients needs are. Ive been told I can understand others on a deeper level without saying much, and I know that can be deeply validating for the clients I have worked with. As someone who is very well versed with pattern recognition, I can typically identify patterns in communication and behavior of my client that is helpful for them to understand themselves. I employ a tremendous amount of inner child work techniques, honing in on using your adult self to protect and offer support to your child-self that has been hurt/uncared for. I also provide a ton of psychoeducation on trauma and any symptoms that present itself.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My strongest values that I possess and consistently try to show up for are integrity, non-judgement, compassion, and authenticity. These values guide my practice and my every day behaviors. I approach therapy through a trauma-informed, holistic, and person-centered lens, honoring not just your mind, but your body and spirit as well. I’m deeply committed to creating inclusive, affirming spaces for people from all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodiverse clients, and those navigating trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. I believe that everyone deserves access to care that feels safe, empowering, and deeply human. Outside of my clinical work, I’m passionate about harm reduction, trauma recovery, and building healthier relationships. I also value spiritual connection and mindfulness practices incorporating elements like Reiki and grounding into my own life, which I also incorporate into my practice.
