About My Clients
Grappling with depression, stuck in addiction, or home when you'd rather be independent? Living with the echoes of an unhappy or abusive childhood? Feeling anxious and tired on a daily basis and can't figure out why, or can't seem to connect with others the way you'd like? Maybe you're not even sure what to call what you feel, but you'd really like to change it and find a way to feel like yourself again. None of these issues are pleasant, but we can work on them together.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in meeting older teens and adults where they are, working alongside clients using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, a.k.a. approaches that engage mind, body, emotions, and spirit to increase awareness, acceptance, and values driven actions. An EMDR Certified therapist who's also trained in Brainspotting and IFS informed, I can also help my clients process and integrate single event trauma and complex PTSD. Our work together will be geared toward helping you find stability and then increasing your ability to handle emotional challenges in the future. Serving in partial hospitalization and outpatient programs gave me the opportunity to work with clients with diverse backgrounds and complex issues. As a result, if you need it, I'm comfortable respectfully collaborating with doctors, other clinicians, and families to build a team to support your healing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
We all do the best we can with what we've experienced in life. There's no shame in needing support when our best doesn't seem to work out, or we don't have the skills we need to cope with the events we face. When we have some help to work through the big problems, then work on meeting our issues with skill, curiosity and compassion, we're more able to feel comfortable in our own skin and confident in who we are. I want my clients to be themselves, to not shy away from their beliefs, and to live full lives. My work isn't to judge or fix anyone. It's to listen, support, and provide tools that help you accomplish your own goals for growth and healing. Making the choice to seek counseling and finding the right counselor can be challenging, so it's important for you to know more about me and feel comfortable working together. That's why I hope you take advantage of a free short consultation. Call me today and let's set it up.
