About My Clients
I have experience working with people experiencing attachment issues, complex trauma (CPTSD), religious trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, and relationship issues. My particular focus is on religious trauma due to the deep and often hidden scars it can leave that show up in our daily lives. I love being able to provide a safe space for clients to explore and process their experiences, recognizing the profound impact that religious environments and beliefs can have on an individual's mental health.
My Background and Approach
I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Ohio, a Mental Health Counselor Associate (MHCA) in Washington, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I'm also trained in EMDR. I have experience working with couples, families, individuals with PTSD and C-PTSD, mood disorders, attachment and relationship issues. The tools that I'll provide you with are tools that are scientifically proven to help you. My goal for you is to have at least five different tools and techniques that you can carry with you at all times. So no matter where you go, you'll always have access to discreet exercises that can quickly create relief. We'll work collaboratively to address the issues that are bothering you right now, and then work through processing any potential childhood issues that could be the root cause.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that as humans, we're always evolving. One of the main reasons we develop unhealthy behaviors or wrestle with mental health issues is because of things we've experienced when we were younger. But, I have great news for you! Because we're always evolving, each of us has the ability to unlearn faulty behaviors and beliefs and replace them with healthy ones. I grew up in a Christian home, and I've been on a deconstruction journey of creating a faith that is my own, not one that's controlled by institutional Christianity. I'm incredibly passionate about the psychology behind cults, specifically religious and commercial cults, and helping people heal their religious trauma. I do not discriminate against anyone, and I stand with the LGBTQ+ community. If you want to learn more about how we can partner together on your healing journey, send me a message.
