About My Clients
Are you a teen or young adult feeling stuck after a recent or past experience that was overwhelming, confusing, or painful? Maybe you’re carrying memories from childhood that still show up as anxiety, anger, shame, or emotional numbness. You might feel disconnected from yourself, unsure why certain reactions feel so intense, or questioning parts of your identity or faith. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it by yourself. I also work with parents with trauma.
My Background and Approach
The tools I'll provide you with are tools I tailor to your unique needs and situation. The process starts off by meeting you where you are and building a strong therapeutic relationship to facilitate healing in your life. Next, we will collaborate together on goals that will work best for you that will stretch you but grow you as well. I will equip you with tools and techniques to move you forward that you can carry as you heal; inside of counseling, and in your life. I am very big on expressive and creative arts as a way to facilitate healing as opposed to just doing only talk therapy. If you are interested in incorporating your creative side in the process, let me know!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that there is a mental health crisis going on with our tweens, teens and young adults and they need our help to be there for them and support them. I also believe that we can stop generational trauma by supporting healing in parents from their own childhood trauma. Allowing them to heal in their own way and putting them in charge of their mental health is empowering for them. They need a place where they are not judged or told "what needs to be fixed" or "they need to be fixed." A lot of the things others think is the issue or was told to teens or young adults is quite different then what they are experiencing. Traumatic events happen quite often and they are breaking our young people and killing their hope, especially those from marginalized communities. They need an outlet and support to help them prove that they are resilient beings who are unique and loved and make meaning of their traumatic experience.
