About My Clients
I am passionate about working with older adolescents and adults who have experienced the following: complex trauma and early attachment wounds, difficult/unfulfilling relationships with self and others, and challenges related to an unstable sense of self and self-worth. I enjoy working with clients who are committed to the therapeutic process and willing to do the deep work.
My Background and Approach
My background includes working within both nonprofit and community- based settings to provide a wide range of mental health services to both individuals and families. I have specific expertise working with individuals who are experiencing mental health crises, to include suicidality and self-harm. I am passionate about assisting people through some of their most difficult and vulnerable moments. The truth is, though, you don’t need to wait for a crisis to seek the support that you deserve. I believe in meeting you where you are, no matter where that may be in your healing journey. My hope for our time together is to create a safe space for you to feel seen and heard as your most authentic self, or maybe even assist you in discovering who that may be.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
We can think of the therapeutic process as a sort of metamorphosis. Like the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, we all enter the world with everything we need within us to become our very best selves. However, in order to make that transformation possible, we each require a safe and supportive space to grow. Unfortunately, many of us never had the opportunity to experience that space. This could be due to a variety of reasons - growing up with unavailable or abusive attachment figures, taking on adult roles at an early age, experiencing isolation and rejection from our peers, etc. Through my own therapy for these experiences, I have found that this is where therapy can come in - acting as a sort of cocoon. My hope for our time together is to provide that “cocoon” for you - wherein we can safely explore both your inner and outer worlds, all the while supporting you in growing and transforming into your most authentic self. It’s time to find your wings.
