About My Clients
My ideal client is anyone who wants help, is willing to be open and honest, and is willing to put in some work to explore how they can live their best life. They may know exactly what they want to accomplish, or they may not. If they don't, together we can work to clear the fog and reveal the path to the life they want to live. They may be battling depression, anxiety, ADHD, past trauma, or anything in between.
My Background and Approach
I graduated from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2023 with an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My journey to become a mental health counselor has hardly been a straight line. I got my B.F.A in Performing Arts from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2013 and then lived in both Chicago and Los Angeles performing improv comedy and writing sketches while having survival jobs as well. Juggling all of that while also having fibromyalgia proved to be unsustainable, and I was getting burnt out on the toxicity of the entertainment industry. After my health worsened, I took about a year to soul search and work on myself. It was then that I had the epiphany to become a mental health counselor. I can offer an open, client-centered approach to meet you where you currently are. Everyone has different goals, and there is no one direct path to wellness. Together, we can forge a path that works for you. I want to provide you with all the tools you need to be successful.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think one of the reasons we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. I have personally experienced social anxiety, and anxiety and depression related to my chronic pain issues. I have learned to process these feelings in my own therapy, and learned to live with these feelings and health issues. I don't discriminate against anyone.
