About My Clients
I help stressed out parents and professionals who are healing from difficult experiences so that they can be the parents, people, and community members they want to be. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being committed parents and professionals, their difficult experiences seem to keep getting in their way. They aren’t always the people they want to be. Feeling confident, calm, and peaceful is possible. Reach out for a free 15 minute call.
My Background and Approach
It’s important to me to use a trauma informed approach to counseling. This framework means that both the counselor and client are mindful about how people are affected by their experiences. So, you are never forced to talk about your experiences, and can go at your own pace. As we work together, you will learn research backed tools and skills from a variety of counseling approaches to manage reactions, emotions, and relationships. I tailor my approach to your needs. My clients tell me they like that sessions feel collaborative and that we are able to explore their experiences from multiple perspectives including feminist and cultural lenses. I value respect in all its forms including respect for self, respect for others, respect for diversity. I won’t tell you who or how you should be, or how you should experience something.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Like my clients, I value being in size-inclusive, neurodivergent friendly, LGBTQ+, and BIOPIC welcoming spaces and work to make my virtual office feel safe for everyone. As a woman of size who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I know what it can be like feeling as if you just don’t fit in, or missed out the day they handed out the secret decoder ring. I love working with people to help them build a greater sense of self, peace, and connection in their lives. I believe the following: 1) You are worthy of love, care, and respect and deserve to experience non-judgement and acceptance, 2) Survivors are not what happened to them, 3) Emotions heal when they are felt, witnessed, and validated, and 4) Therapy often works best when it addresses the person as a whole- their mind, body, values, beliefs, and spiritual perspective.
