About My Clients

Remember the last time you felt that there was no option, that you had no fight left? Everything was dark, heavy, and too much to bear? For every breath, you gasped. The feeling of depression and anxiety clutching your soul. I’ve been there; I’ve felt that, too. Let’s work through this together, to find healing of your mind, and your soul.

My Background and Approach

My background is through both a lived experience and helping others through trauma, abuse, crises, depression, anxiety, and many others. My approach is: to listen, to hear, and to feel with the client helping to find what will be an appropriate approach. There may be more than one and that is OK! I often use a strength-based approach, as well as an emotionally responsive approach to help identify client needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strongly believe everyone has a right to feel good about themselves emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Learned behaviors can create some tension and some emotional disagreement, but it is possible to find a way to work through whatever is going on, without avoiding it. We all deserve the freedom to believe that there are silver linings and lights at the end of tunnels, are you ready?
