About My Clients
I am passionate about making therapy accessible to those folks who are used to taking care of everyone else and often feel that their own mental health and well-being are an afterthought. I love working with neurodivergent individuals, those in recovery, and moms! Maybe you're a triple winner and fall into all three categories. I am ready to walk alongside you in your journey from early recovery into dealing with the myriad traumas that happened before, during, and perhaps after getting sober.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed professional counselor/mental health services provider (LPC/MHSP), EMDR-trained, and a Nationally Certified Professional Counselor. I've been practicing since 2021, though I completed graduate school many years ago. My path was a bit winding to find myself ready to be the therapist I want to be. I've been sober since 2019 and walking my own path of recovery and trauma treatment since that time as well. I bring a heaping serving of personal experience to the therapy room as I have spent time in the other seat. I have found that healing happens in our minds and hearts, but in our bodies as well. For that reason, I focus on bodywork often in my practice. We will practice skills in regulating our own bodies, so that we can be regulated for others. We will also practice making space for simply finding safety and peace within our physical forms, as that is so often lost in our years of addiction and the abandonment of ourselves.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Healing happens in safety and in relationship. My first and greatest priority is for you to feel safe, seen, and heard. I believe that we are all beautiful, good, complex, and hurting creatures. I also believe that we are often our harshest critic, and quickest deserter when the going gets tough. I will be there with you to witness your goodness, hold your sadness, and champion your successes. I believe in inclusivity, in justice, and in equity.
