About My Clients
I best serve clients looking to explore who they are, how they relate to the world, and how their emotional experience relates to those things. Anxiety, depression, discomfort, and fear are all part of our lives and absolutely essential. I also work well with clients who are open to a mix of a bit of processing, a bit of skills work, a bit of somatic work, and a bit of creative integrative work. You are more than one aspect of your experience.
My Background and Approach
I've worked extensively helping people through addictions, anger management, and co-occurring disorders. Additionally, I have experience working with and supporting adolescents, where I've provided services for depression, anxiety, and behavioral struggles. I enjoy working across the lifespan, ages 12 and up. I utilize experiential techniques through a cognitive-behavioral lens to approach life’s stressors in a way that will allow individuals to build on their strengths and reach their goals. I cater these strategies for one's unique needs, including making their delivery kiddo and teen friendly. I'm also passionate about using strategies from Acceptance and Comittment Therapy as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I know that making the decision to start counseling can be a difficult one, so creating a safe space where people can say what needs to be said and be comfortable with themselves and have room to grow is of utmost importance.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe all people have the right to grow, change, and feel their emotional capacity, as well as make the choices that are in line with their values. I also believe that sometimes those choices may hurt others (setting boundaries for example, may bring up uncomfortable feelings in someone else). As such, we much understand that we are all doing the best we can. Emotions are hard. Taking responsibility for them, and our behaviors, is even more difficult. I am an advocate for people, and for the Earth. We cannot diminish all that breathes. Life itself is kinship, we are a community in that we are here together, breath by breath. If nothing else, come see me if you wanna know cool bird or tree facts. Chickadee-dee-dee
