About My Clients
An ideal client for me is someone who is interested in doing a deep analysis of themselves because I believe that looking to the past allows clients to uncover hidden meanings or patterns that they can use to breakdown faulty beliefs, align with core values, find purpose, and heal. My approach works best for adults and teens who are navigating: trauma/PTSD, grief, major life transitions, neurodivergence (ADHD/autism, late diagnosed, chronic masking, etc.), no/low contact with family and more.
My Background and Approach
I became a counselor in 2025 but I have been working in mental health for 8 years and have experience across various levels of psychiatric care. Most of my training centers on trauma, neurodivergence and personality disorders. In our work together, clients often learn to feel safe within their own body, understand how their patterns were shaped by earlier experiences, reconnect with their values/purpose, give themselves space to grieve, and create more authentic relationships. My work is guided by existentialism, which is focused on the core fears we all as humans experience. In sessions, we will discuss what brought you to therapy primarily as a starting point for deeper exploration. My aim is to find and mend the root of the pain, not just treat the symptoms caused by it, regardless of presenting issue/illness. I see the client as the expert in the room because no one knows your experience better than you. You are in complete control of where we go. You lead, I follow.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a fierce proponent for social justice and equity. I'm a socialist and I understand how unhelpful therapy can be when it refuses to acknowledge the unprecedented context that we are all living in currently. I am also AuDHD, queer, and multiracial (white/black) and I grew up in rural PA, so I know how it feels to be marginalized by the community meant to support you. My lived experience is what made me decide to become a counselor. I sat in many counseling offices as a teen and young adult and felt invalidated in most of them. I never want to make someone else feel like that and my beliefs, values, and morals also guide how I show up in therapy. I am an activist in my spare time and dedicate time to mutual aid efforts, protest, and research to make my community a safer place and my profession more impactful and empowering to every client.
