About My Clients
I work with clients who are ready to regain joy, feel better, and move forward from the past. Clients who are ready to take the next step in their healing journey, but might need a little help along the way are typically a great fit. I use a lot of humor in session and try to bring a down-to-Earth energy to the session. Clients who are wanting someone who will challenge them a bit, but want someone with kindness and compassion are typically good fits!
My Background and Approach
My goal, as a therapist, is to help support my clients on whatever journey they are on right now, and build skills for the journey ahead. Whether you want some anxiety reduction skills or want to process childhood trauma, my overarching goal is to create a space for you to meet your goals. To do this, I offer several "flavors" of therapy. For one, I am EMDR trained, which is a pretty awesome way to help people overcome trauma. If you aren't familiar, it is an evidence-based therapy practice that allows people to process "stuck" memories or beliefs about themselves. EMDR can also help with fears/phobias, confidence building, etc. Along with EMDR, my talk therapy draws heavily from narrative and experiential modalities. It brings a "straightforward but super supportive and gentle" kind of vibe to the function.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the ability to grow. We've all done things that haven't been aligned with how we view ourselves. We are just silly little humans trying to do our best. With that, I strive to offer a place of non-judgment for people to talk about heavy things that have been weighing on them. I strive to create a safe space for the LGBTQA+ community. As a member of the queer community myself, it is so important to consistently work toward creating an environment that welcomes people of all walks of life, and especially for those who have faced the trials of living in a world that feels as though it wasn't "made" for you sometimes. Some other personal beliefs and interests I have that may align with you are I am an animal lover and a video game enthusiast. I love music and baking, as well as hiking and gardening!
