About My Clients

People seek therapy for different reasons. Maybe you're going through a tough transition, have been have been struggling with feelings or memories that you don't know what to do with, struggling in your relationships, or are seeking some tools that may help you feel better. I can help you! I focus on building a safe and genuine space for you to explore what brought you here, and seek to work with you to bring about the growth and change you are looking to make.

My Background and Approach

I have worked in the mental health field for over 7 years and have worked in a variety of settings throughout my career thus far, working with clients coming from all walks of life and facing different challenges. Currently I work with clients who are experiencing relationship issues, anxiety/stress management, parenting/parental skill-building, self-esteem, and trauma related issues I believe in using a person-centered approach, meaning YOU are at the center of therapy. I want to meet you where YOU are at, and work with you to identify what your goals and needs are from this space. In my approach I highlight compassion and authenticity to develop a space where you feel you are seen and heard, while also support you in learning skills and tools that are aimed at helping you feel better and support you in meeting your goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone holds value and is capable of change and growth. I believe that we often struggle due to unhealthy or unhelpful behaviors of coping that we learned throughout life. Which means, we can also go through the process of unlearning our unhealthy/unhelpful patterns and learn and develop new skills that can support us in managing the stress that this broken world can bring. I believe in working towards facing our emotions and accepting them, learning how to understand what they are trying to communicate with us rather than seeing them as an enemy that needs to be extinguished. I do consider myself a Christian therapist, and am open to receiving clients who are seeking to utilize their faith in their treatment, however it is not a requirement or a necessity. I am open to all clients, from all walks of life, and I will not judge you. If you are wanting to learn more about how I can help, please feel free to message me. I offer free 15 minute consultations.
