About My Clients
The journey in life isn’t always easy. Often times, even the strongest of people can neglect to give themselves the love, kindness, and compassion they need to tread forward. We all have battles to fight and hurdles to overcome; you don’t have to face these alone. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or any other issues, therapy can provide you a safe space to remind you of your innate power and equip you with skills to live the life you desire and deserve.
My Background and Approach
I received my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, adjustment issues, acculturation difficulties, and substance abuse. I have also received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Play Therapy. Coupled with evidence-based practices, I utilize a trauma-informed and integrative approach tailored to fit both the individual’s personality and mental health needs. In our sessions, I strive to cultivate a safe, non-judgmental and encouraging therapeutic space where your personal growth and well-being can prosper.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to the human experiences of healing and connection. It is my belief that life is a long, constant journey inward. As a therapist, I view myself as a fellow passenger and companion for those wanting to embark onto a path towards reflection, growth, and meaningful change. I believe that every part of us serves a beautiful purpose. This includes even the parts we try to resist or hide. While we might feel stuck or defeated by those parts, I find it important to be curious and compassionate towards these aspects of self. I encourage clients to increase self-awareness so that they are empowered to choose the life they want for themselves rather than being motivated by unaddressed needs or wounds.
