About My Clients
Working with teens (20 years school counseling experience) struggling to find their place in the world as well as adults who are the same. My specialty is transitions & toxic relationships. I also am ART trained which helps decrease trauma symptoms similar to EMDR. My skills include treating self-esteem, depression, anxiety and relationship or family distress.
My Background and Approach
I have been a school counselor for 20+ years in addition to therapist so work well with the teen population. I am supportive and familiar with education and can help navigate the difficulties than can occur as a parent, student and even educator trying to survive the day. All people struggle with finding their place in life whether it be through a change of job, family status or personal beliefs and I am here to help guide you to the healthiest you that you can be. I meet each individual where they are in their process of healing, identify and build on strengths, and work together to meet their goals. I believe that each individual has the capacity to heal, and my goal is to enter into a therapeutic relationship in which the client feels safe to begin this process. If you are looking for someone who is caring and compassionate and laid back I am who you are looking for. I also can use a mix of traditional therapy and ART (accelerated resolution therapy) to provide a stronger path
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I value connection and family values displayed by showing love, safety and concern to all. At times we need to ask for help. Finding yourself in a toxic or unbearable situation is not your fault. The accompanying guilt, shame and remorse fosters isolation, irritability and loneliness. Therapy is great place to explore those feelings in a supportive and safe environment.
