About My Clients
I specialize in working with gender/LGBTQIA+ issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, incest and childhood sexual abuse survivors. I have experience working with youth 11-17 years-old as well as adults.
My Background and Approach
I am a Professional Counselor Associate who graduated with their Masters of Arts from Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education & Counseling in Spring of 2021. I studied addictions while in school and have extensive knowledge surrounding the relationship between addiction and trauma. I also have experience working with youth in residential treatment facilities and a partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient program. I have spent the past year working with teens who are experiencing depression, trauma, anxiety and other mood disorders along with their families. I am fundamentally a person-centered counselor which means I like to collaborate with my clients about what it is that is best for them. I also like to integrate mindfulness, psychoeducation, and creativity into my therapeutic approach. I am currently training in the protocols of EMDR and Lifespan Integration.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that we all have the resources to heal inside of us, but that trauma often acts as a barrier to these resources and can make it extremely difficult for us to heal. It is my goal to help clients realize they have the power to heal themselves and create the life that they want.
