About My Clients
I work best with people who have insight but can’t seem to get out of worn out patterns. This may show up in relationships, anxiety, self medicating, or overwhelm. Some folks have trauma in their background, some don’t. Either way, something isn’t working. My clients want a place they don’t need to perform or be perfect: Where things can slow down and get reevaluated.
My Background and Approach
I have experience working with children, teens and adults. There is often trauma, anxiety, and/or relationship issues. I have practiced in a range of settings: prison, schools, group homes, a crisis center, and hospital. Now, private practice. I’ve worked with people in urban and rural communities; Doctors and Sex- Workers. Many clients deconstruct their childhood, gender, religion, or background. My approach grew out of all of these experiences. I keep things steady but with no rush. I like a little dark humor when the time is right. I pull from several methods, depending on what’s needed. I am interested in helping people understand the root of the issue, so change can last a lifetime
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I care about being real and being fair. I assume we are all out here doing our best. I would prefer to get uncomfortable, than to ignore that's hurting us. I lean progressive and care about people being treated with dignity. I’m LGBTQ+ affirming, and pay attention to how race, culture, and power show up in our lives. At the same time, I’m not here to over talk or assume your experience. You are the authority on your life. In sessions with me, you won't have to have to put on a front or perform- you can show up as is. I will stay present, pay attention, and help you sort through things so your life can actually feel like yours.
