About My Clients
I love working with people who are wanting to figure out how to live in the world as their truest selves. We all experience things like trauma, anxiety, depression, and more -- these are a part of being human. But when these rob us of our autonomy, leaving us stuck in cycles that change us, we may need help to see our way through what we cannot navigate alone. If you think you may want to work with me, reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation! I can't wait to meet you.
My Background and Approach
I have a B.A. in Philosophy and an M.A. in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. I spent my clinical internship working in community health settings and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) groups. I am currently working in private practice and an acute care psychiatric hospital. I am trained in Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR) therapy and am a Certified Compassion Fatigue Educator with the Green Cross. I have also had trainings in polyvagal theory, smoking cessation, somatic experiencing, and more during my time as a HRSA Behavioral Workforce Fellow. I approach therapy from a variety of theoretical orientations. I am primarily influenced by polyvagal theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR therapy, narrative theory, family systems theory, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and person-centered therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe we are all inherently good. I believe we all end up wounded on our journeys in the world. While these wounds can be a place where resilience and character are born, they can also cause us to live in ways that do not align with who we know we are and want to be. I believe that if we treat these wounds with curiosity, love, and self-compassion, we can come through our pain feeling more like ourselves than we could ever imagine.
