Being your authentic self in this world can be hard, but it is possible. Often times we have things weighing us down that get in the way of that process. I want to guide you on your journey of self-discovery and help you recognize your own strengths. My wish is for you to find support and become more empowered. Counseling is one way you can begin to work through these challenges. It offers an outside perspective and a type of scaffolding as you build yourself up. Communication, stress management and dealing with the intensity of daily emotions can be overwhelming, especially when you realize that your brain is considered different from the “default.” As a counselor, I believe that when lived experience is combined with formal schooling the results can create a better connection. Let’s work together on goals that you find important, because you know yourself better than anyone else! If you are ready to schedule you can click on the book now button.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Rapport building and setting tentative goals together. I also want to know if you are new to counseling.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have several areas that I have a good deal of related knowledge and experience with, for example: working with folks who identify as neurodivergent in both school and community settings. I have also worked for 3 years with individuals who are diagnosed with both mental illness and a substance use disorder. In addition, I enjoy working with adolescents, (ages 14 and older) because I know they are trying to navigate the world of becoming an adult. Lastly, I have a passion for assisting those with chronic health conditions on their journey of grief to acceptance, as well as helping them develop their boundaries and teaching them how to advocate for their needs.
