About My Clients

Are you struggling to establish and maintain healthy relationships? Are your emotions difficult to manage at times? Relationships are hard and it can be overwhelming! It may seem easier to withdraw from others or hold on to toxic relationships. I can help you recognize the patterns in your relationships that are making the connections difficult. We can work on communication skills to get your needs met and to understand the needs of your loved ones.

My Background and Approach

I use a mindfulness based, person-centered approach that brings things into the here and now. We will take a look into your family of origin and how the dynamics of this relationship is effecting your relationships now. We will learn how your attachment style is impacting your relationships. You can come to counseling as an individual, couple, or family to work on the relationship dynamics. I also specialize in emotion regulation and management. Anxiety, depression, and anger can be controlling forces that are disruptive in your life. We can work on building effective strategies to understand the reason for the emotions and use them to your benefit. We can discuss and heal from painful relationships from the past that may make it hard to build connections today. We will work at your pace and take things one day at time. I have been working with individuals, couples, and families since 2021. I am currently working under supervision of a licensed counselor in pursuit of licensure.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone is worthy of love and connections. Everyone has painful memories from the past that can make it difficult to build healthy relationships and trust others. I believe that no matter how bad things seem, they always get better. The only way out is through. Some of the most beautiful pieces of art come from shattered glass that was put back together. Family relationships are the most complicated and can have painful lasting impacts. I believe it is possible to rebuild these difficult relationships when people put in the work. I have seen how families can unintentionally hurt each other and have a lack of insight into how they are impacting each other. I spent years struggling on getting close and trusting people. I learned how my relationships with my family was influencing my ability to make new and healthy relationships. I want to help others understand how to rebuild their relationships and make new healthy ones.
