About My Clients
I view emotional well-being as a pursuit and a practice emerging from relationships and experiences that allow us to be and feel increasingly seen, known, understood and appreciated. I work best with clients who are looking to fully invest in the process, with the understanding that commitment and engagement are necessary ingredients, not only for a meaningful therapeutic experience, but for a meaningful life.
My Background and Approach
I have 5 years of combined clinical training and experience working with families, couples and individuals in child welfare, juvenile justice and private practice settings. I have an additional 6 years of public policy experience as a liaison for the US federal government. I bring the fullness of my vocational experiences to bear in service of my clients. My approach to therapy is strength-based, solution-focused and collaborative. I attend to social & cultural context in my work, acknowledging them as critical for the trust and safety that make therapy possible. This means I take particular care to ensure my clients feel affirmed, empowered and capable as a result of their time spent working with me. Some of my areas of focus include bridging the gap between Christian faith and emotional well-being, examining how the quality of our relationships impact our quality of life, & exploring the ways that generational legacies and narratives inform the ways we navigate those relationships.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe all human beings were made in the image of God. I also believe that God has much to say about how we were designed, what we were designed for, and the methods by which, through acknowledgement of Him, we might come to experience an abundant quality of life which leads to an abundant quantity of life. If my clients desire, I enjoy using this powerfully affirming, faith-informed framework to view presenting problems and personal narratives through a Christ-focused lens, helping clients develop mindsets which present their life challenges as evidence of a cup half-full as opposed to half-empty.
