About My Clients

Are you stuck in a rut and are struggling to find your way out of it? Sometimes we can find ourselves feeling very lost in life, in our identities, and in our faith. Whether it is because of life transitions, trauma, or mental health struggles, you just cannot seem to get yourself out of a rut. You're not sure where to go or what to do and maybe that's how you ended up here today. Sometimes that first step towards healing can be really hard and scary but you’re doing it, I'm here to support you.

My Background and Approach

My main focus areas of practice are self discovery and identity, rebuilding after trauma, navigating life transitions, spiritual wellness and alignment, emotional care and wellness, and creating a healthy thought life. My philosophy of treatment pulls a lot from narrative therapy because I am a firm believer in the power of storytelling as a mode of healing and teaching one to find their voice and own their story. The goal is to help you to rewrite unhealthy internalized messages so that you can make room for self-love, empowerment, confidence, healing, community, authenticity, and wholeness. I believe that therapy should bolster self-awareness and one's insight into themselves. Creating a path for you to heal is essential, but equipping you with the ability to understand yourself better is equally as significant.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I would describe my approach to the therapeutic relationship as one filled with empathy, grace, and accountability. I value meeting my clients where they are in their healing journeys while empowering them to continue moving forward in their processes. My approach to the therapeutic relationship follows three standards: empower, equip, and encourage. My therapeutic relationships aim to empower you to believe you have the power to enact change in your life, equip you with the tools to do so, and encourage you along the way. My approach is to be a collaborator and cheerleader to you on your journey, as I am there to help you find what was hidden inside of you all along.
