About My Clients
You're looking for more and want to get unstuck. Maybe even enjoy life again? Tired. So tired, right? The racing thoughts that distract you at night. You're over it. The late night emotional eating; constant worrying, the "overdoing"; the irritability spells. It's consuming your thoughts, but no one on the outside really knows your deep struggle with being YOU. You're super hard on yourself and you just need a supportive ally. Someone to listen, help you make a plan and then stick to it!
My Background and Approach
With 11 years of counseling experience I've helped hundreds of individuals clear out the emotional clutter and make room for new experiences and a greater understanding of who they truly are. We'll work together to identify specific triggers, strengths and what makes you unique and amazing. We'll uncover your gifts and talents as we work through past and current issues that hold you back from living a peaceful, rested and fulfilling life. I use humor and conversational-style talk therapy that's fun. Yes, therapy and working through all of this CAN BE FUN! There will be difficult moments too, but we'll work through it together! You'll learn new coping tools that you can use in your everyday life to manage stress, worry, guilt and fear - all the things that take up space in your life. I meet with clients weekly at first, to build the trust and therapeutic relationship. We'll set goals and make a plan that works for your personality and healing style.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I especially advocate for those who have been ostracized from their families and communities due to strict religious/cultural doctrine. I provide support for those who are creating non-biological families because their own families were abusive - and I don't just mean physically. The emotional and psychological abuse that some of my clients have experienced - just for being who they are - opened my eyes to the great need of supportive allies. My hope is to be an ally. Love and peace - that is what I want for all of us. Uniting and embracing our beautiful differences. Allowing each other to ask questions and understand each other - we don't all have to agree on everything - but we HAVE to respect each other. I support equality for all humans.
