About My Clients

People often come to me feeling stuck, repeating the same patterns and expecting different results, but with no idea of how to make the changes they want. Maybe it is a significant life event or life changing news or even feeling tired of the same, people are seeking help to handle what they are going through and understand what is next.

My Background and Approach

With an approach that each person is the expert on their experience, work with me begins with collaboratively navigating how to overcome the struggle that is being faced. As the therapist, I work alongside people to help build their strength and achieve the healing they desire. Putting the pieces together alongside my clients to help build their strength and peace to reach healing is my hope as a therapist. Work with me is unique in that I have lived experience with disability and chronic illness. While I will not claim to understand your experience exactly, I am a messy, flawed, human who has been through a lot in life just like you. You are the expert on you and your experience, and I hope to come alongside you with tools and training to help you navigate it. I primarily work with older teens and adults experiencing difficulty related to trauma/PTSD, grief, disability, and chronic illness. I aim to be a safe space for clients to show up exactly as they are.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can benefit from counseling in some way, and that it is never too late to change who you are to move closer to who you want to be. I believe that therapy works best when you are able to let down the walls you are hiding behind and bring your authentic self. I am passionate about making therapy accessible for all, especially those with disabilities. I know what it’s like to battle with accessibility challenges or to feel like a burden to others for different needs. My work with the Alzheimer’s Association and other jobs has shown me the incredible power of human connection and sharing experiences with others. ***PLEASE NOTE: I AM ONLINE ONLY***
