I am comfortable working with clients from almost any age bracket, cultural background or socioeconomic group. As an LGBTQ+ ally, I am accepting of and welcome clients of any gender or identity. I am a systems based therapist, so I take notice of the systems around my client and how they might be impacting their experiences; I work well with individuals and family systems. I am especially experienced in my work with chronic pain/illness and complex trauma. As a therapist, I am intuitive and relaxed. I believe in empowering my clients to define and move toward their goals in a positive, validating and collaborative atmosphere, in which the client decides what feels safe and comfortable for them I believe that counseling is most impactful and effective when it is the product of a safe, unconditional therapeutic relationship based on trust and support. It can be difficult and even scary to seek assistance with trauma, depression, anxiety, etc. It's important to find someone who helps you feel accepted and safe while you are working to create a sense of stability and defining what will work for YOU. I would be honored to share this important journey with you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I'm going to be trying to get to know you - what you're struggling with, what your goals are, but also what do you like and dislike? Have you done this before? What have you lived through? I'm also going to be trying to show you who I am, so that going forward, it won't feel so awkward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strength is my empathy, my ability to find innovative solutions to complex issues, and my own experience with motherhood, chronic pain and trauma. I am a mother and a stepmother. I struggle with chronic illness (Chiari Malformation Type1), and I have had to work very hard to become my own best advocate. Like many of my generation, I was late diagnosed with ADHD and spent a lot of time trying to understand myself from a more positive place. I think what makes me approachable and helpful, to people looking to make big transitions in their lives or looking for help with big sorrows, is that it doesn't overwhelm or hurt me to hear what they struggle with.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I am trained in DBT and utilizing DBT specifically for trauma. I utilize the concepts of personal responsibility, mindfulness, and utilizing physical reaction to stop triggered trauma responses.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I find it exceedingly useful to explore not only where our culture is today, but where it was when my client was traumatized, to better understand the responses. I also like to receive feedback from my clients about the culture they belong to now, or the culture they would like to belong to, so that we can begin normalizing those expectations.
Motivational Interviewing
I don't think therapy is me against a problem; I think therapy is my client and I against the problem. My goal for the client isn't the goal for therapy - the client's goal is! So I like to explore what change the client wants to make, and then interview to see what's keeping us from getting there and how we can get around it.
Existential
Especially with my neurodivergent clients, but also clients facing big transition, I find the question of "what am I here for? What is the point?" coming up repeatedly. I'm very comfortable leaning into these thoughts, to help the client be sure that they're building the life that they want.
Positive Psychology
Positive psychology started me on the path to becoming a counselor; this is the belief that you were born with strengths and weaknesses, and no amount of working on your weaknesses is going to make them strengths, or make them enjoyable to you. If, instead, we focus on making your strengths even stronger, not only will you start to understand how you fit into the world around you, but you'll actually enjoy your life more, too! We like what we're good at. Start there.
