About My Clients
My ideal client is any adult looking to create change in their life by by being willing to change how they relate to their internal thoughts and feelings. This has a wide application for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, interpersonal difficulties or just the stress of a post-pandemic world. I have a particular passion for working with those who have experienced developmental trauma and are looking for new ways to relate to themselves and their pasts.
My Background and Approach
In 2020, I began my studies in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at NCSU with an anticipated graduation date of Spring, 2023 and am currently embarking on my Masters Practicum with a 4.0 GPA. As a Masters Level Intern at Lifeologie Counseling in Raleigh, NC, I work under the direct supervision of Dr. Elizabeth Grady, Ph.D, whose over 19 years of practice fully ensure the absolute quality of your care. I work exclusively with adults via telehealth and have completed all required coursework for designation as an NBCC Certified Telemental Health Provider, with expected accreditation in May of 2023. I utilize a combination of Existential and Humanistic techniques within the specific modality of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approach, to help clients achieve their goals. This includes the exploration of personal values, the meanings we give the stories of our life and experiential, behavioral strategies to create change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have a deep commitment to working with individuals overcoming developmental and childhood trauma, and combine cutting-edge, neuroscientific research with traditional existential and behavioral therapeutic modalities to first unlock how the experiences from our past influence our present and then move past these experiences into a desired future. I am currently completing the Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist—Individual (CCTS-I) designation from the Arizona Trauma Institute with anticipated accreditation in May 2022. I have a strong passion for social-justice and personally support The Bail Project, Helpmate: domestic violence advocacy, a number of animal rights/welfare organizations and have been vegan for over 15 years.
