About My Clients

The clients I work with often feel torn in how to have a healthy relationship without feeling bad about themselves for sacrificing their own desires. They often experience irritability, anxiety, lack of interest, hopelessness, isolated, or misunderstood and unheard. My clients often feel relief when they are able to gain perspectives on their patterns and connect with their internal experiences with curiosity and compassion.

My Background and Approach

My goal for my clients is to help them better understand themselves and equip them with the tools they need to face future experiences. I work collaboratively with my clients. I take my expertise in mental health with the expertise the client holds in their life circumstances to explore new perspectives that reveal new insights. I am trained in EMDR. This is an approach that helps client process traumatic memories and experiences that can hinder the client from being their complete Self. I am trained in play therapy. Such techniques can be integrated into sessions to allow a client to discover aspects of themselves that a client may struggle to put into words. I provide a space for nurturing, reflection, accountability, and a drop of humor.
