About My Clients
Have you struggled with anxiety your whole life? Have you struggled to relate to others? Are you struggling to feel like you can't stop your mind from racing? Do you overthink everything? Have you experienced traumatic events in your life that continue to cause problems? I understand how all of these can have an impact, I have been there as well. I utilize a variety of approaches to assist my clients with learning tools needed to create the life they desire.
My Background and Approach
I began my counseling career working in addiction recovery for a residential treatment center. During my time there, I began working in private practice working with and focusing on trauma recovery. I have 8 years of experience and during that time I have focused my training on understanding how trauma impacts the body and the brain. I have many tools that I can draw from and am continuing to learn more so that I can provide the best care for my clients that I can. I strive to create an environment in which my clients feel safe and supported. My clients would describe me as gentle, nurturing, and easy to talk to, but would also say that I am able to challenge them when needed. My goal is assist you in learning to cope with current stressors and assist in processing past hurts that contribute to current struggles when needed.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that we all have the ability to change and change happens when we are ready. I also believe that everyone can benefit from counseling at some point in their lives. It is especially important for therapists to have their own therapist, and that is why I have continued with my therapy journey myself. I have learned to cope through anxiety, manage depression, walked through grief, and learned to manage ADHD. I strive to create a judgement free zone. I enjoy sports, especially baseball (Go Rangers!). Music is my favorite way to express my emotions, my play list is eclectic. My favorite thing to do in my spare time is to spend it with my family, friends, or grandkids. If you would like to learn more about how I can help, send me a message.
