About My Clients

I truly love working with children and families, teens, and adults, especially women and LGBTQIA+ youth. As a former school counselor, I am skilled at helping children learn about emotions and positive outlets for them, and supporting families as they navigate parenthood. I also enjoy working with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and during life transitions. I believe that we all need support at times in our lives, and I hope to be a partner that empowers you to grow and heal.

My Background and Approach

My career path has not always been straightforward, but I've always known that I was meant to help others and I bring that energy and drive to my practice ever day. Having found my calling now as a Licensed Associate Counselor, I strive to be authentic, warm, and present in the working relationship with clients, whether it’s with kids, teens, or adults. I will sit with you in your feelings, gently push you when needed, and bring a sense of humor to the process as well. Together, we will identify your strengths, build skills, discover answers, and heal. My skillset includes trauma-informed care, mindfulness, embodiment, gender inclusivity, and positive conscious discipline. Moreover, I strive to continuously learn and grow so that I can always serve my clients to the best of my ability.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that healing happens in relationship, including between clients and therapists. While it is important for your therapist to have knowledge and skills, it's equally as important that you experience trust, validation, and authenticity with them. In doing so, you can transfer those experiences outside of the office, allowing you to live a healthy, genuine, full life. I also believe that we're all doing the best that we can. Any strategies that you are currently using to cope served you while they could. And if they no longer are helping you the way you need them to, that's where therapy comes in. I can help you identify new, healthier coping skills while also exploring the roots of the issues impacting you. Our work together is a partnership and collaboration with the goal of true long-term healing. I believe you have the capacity for growth, and that you can tap into it if you're ready and willing. PS: I also believe in fresh air, good food, and soul-filling conversations!
