About My Clients
Do you feel like no one really gets what you're carrying? Maybe you're an adult facing anxiety or a tough life transition. Maybe you're a teen or young adult navigating school, family, or your own path forward. Or maybe you've moved through foster care or crisis, and never had a therapist who understood that world firsthand. I do. With 15+ years as a school counselor and mobile crisis clinician, I bring real-world, trauma-informed experience to clients of every age.
My Background and Approach
The tools I'll teach you are ones I've sharpened over 15+ years of clinical work — practical skills you can actually use, not just talk about, so relief is always within reach. I'm direct, collaborative, and solution-focused. I lean on motivational interviewing to help you find your own reasons to change, and mindfulness-based approaches to help you get out of your head and back into your body when things feel overwhelming. My background spans school-based counseling and child mobile crisis work, along with experience supporting teens, young adults, and adults through anxiety, life transitions, and everyday stress. We'll start with what's happening for you right now, build steady tools you can carry anywhere, and work toward real, lasting resilience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people are capable of real change at any point in their lives — there's no expiration date on growth. Most "mental health struggles" are unhealthy patterns we picked up somewhere along the way, which means they can be unlearned and replaced with something healthier. That's the work, and I love doing it. I'm deeply passionate about at-risk youth, especially kids in foster care. I've spent my career showing up for young people the system too often overlooks — navigating crisis, instability, and school systems that weren't built with them in mind. That's not just my job; it's something I believe in, and it shows up in how I show up for every client. I don't discriminate against anyone, period. I bring warmth, humor, and honest, no-nonsense support to this work — I'll meet you where you are and tell you the truth, even when it's not the easy answer. If that sounds like what you're looking for, reach out.
