About My Clients

My specialties include helping clients heal from various types of trauma and grief, especially those impacted by sexual abuse and interpersonal violence. While I specialize in post-traumatic growth & empowerment, I also love to help those that may be dealing with different life transitions, anxiety, sadness/depression, self-esteem issues, stress, and more.

My Background and Approach

Life can be incredibly unfair and challenging at times which can leave us struggling emotionally, mentally, and beyond. My clients can expect to work with someone who is caring and committed to supporting them on their journey to living their best lives. Utilizing approaches that are proven to be effective, I work together with clients to build on the strengths they already possess. Clients can learn a variety of coping skills to best address their needs. Starting counseling can be a huge first step and might be anxiety-provoking for some clients. Please rest assured that clients will be met with compassion and non-judgment in a safe space. Trust can take time in a therapeutic relationship so clients are encouraged to move at their own pace as they work towards their personal goals.
