About My Clients
My ideal client is one who recognizes that there are barriers to their personal growth and are motivated to process through them. My ideal clients are communicative about their struggles and are willing to work on them collaboratively in a therapeutic space. Regardless of racial or ethnic background, sexuality, gender or sex assigned at birth, my ideal client allows space to build trust in me so we can learn from one another. You are the expert of your life, I am a guide.
My Background and Approach
I use a person-centered, trauma-informed foundation that incorporates aspects of IFS and ego states with EMDR, and polyvagal theory. I believe in emphasizing nervous system regulation as a consistent part of therapy and helping clients understand how their bodies and minds work together (even though it can feel at times like they work against each other!)
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that humans are inherently resilient but that sometimes we need support to acknowledge our innate strengths to thrive. Speaking with someone who will not judge you but will work to create a safe and trusting space where you can explore your concerns can be an incredible experience. Counseling can be scary at first, and we will work together to acknowledge any fears you may have and how to process through them. If you have experienced trauma, we will work to build a relationship where you hopefully feel secure enough to focus on healing. I believe that clients are the experts of their own stories, and I am the guide to assist you in working towards whatever you bring into the counseling space. I have training and experience working with members of the LGBTQIA2S+ population. I believe in providing a safe space for you to process all the complexities associated with your identity and authentic self. I see you; I hear you.
