About My Clients
Are you a college student feeling overwhelmed by your emotions or current life circumstances? Are you facing a challenge that you have never faced before? Are you newly in recovery, or watching a family member seek sobriety and feeling scared or uncertain? Navigating anxiety, depression, sobriety, or major life transitions alone can be intimidating and frustrating, but I am here to help. I hope to join you in setting goals and building skills to help you move towards a more peaceful space.
My Background and Approach
I have experience working in substance abuse, where I witnessed both the hope and the challenges that individuals face when newly pursuing recovery. I had the opportunity to work with individuals and groups, helping them identify their goals for sobriety, make incremental changes, and harness their intrinsic motivation. I also had the pleasure of working with clients’ families and partners, to help them understand substance use and abuse, as well as mental health, and mend some of the ruptures to their family systems. I also have experience with college students, doing individual and group therapy with a diverse population of young adults and adults. I have helped individuals work through some of the most challenging and intimidating life transitions, understand mental health symptoms that they are experiencing for the first time, and support them as they move towards acceptance. There are always skills to help manage new challenges, and I look forward to helping you find them.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Mental health care should be affordable, accessible, and not intimidating. It is so hard to reach out to a therapist and share about things that you are struggling with, and that is not lost on me. Breaking the pattern of carrying shame about mental health issues or substance use is vital to the well-being of our communities, and I hope that my clients feel how deeply I believe that. I like to have clients lead the pace at which we work in order to develop our safe space together. I love talking about new ways that clients can engage with their world and harness their strengths.
