LPCC, 6 years of experience
I've got in-depth professional and personal experience with trauma and neurodivergence, and I'm well aware of the overlap with these experiences. I'm also an Eating Disorder Informed Professional. Through my own therapy, educational and professional training, I've reached a point at which I'm able to help others to grow and improve their lives. I work with clients to identify core thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that are holding them back, and we clarify specific skills they can work on to take more control over their lives.
The intake session is going to be full of questions to gather more information about you and your goals, as well as a discussion of diagnoses. The goal is to gain understanding. We'll also build our schedule.
I'm comfortable with just about everyone, understanding, and ask good questions. I like to summarize and simplify individual storylines to make everything seem a little less overwhelming and more manageable. I'm very action-oriented and will get in deep with you, whether it's sitting through difficult emotions as we process experiences, guiding visualization activities, or doing pushups (anything but burpees) with you to get you started towards efforts to become your best self.
My dream clients have been through some things, and may have a hard time putting their thoughts to words. They likely identify as neurodivergent, and may struggle with taking action due to being stuck in their heads. They are ready to stop thinking and start doing.
I work with clients to better understand themselves and identify what they can and cannot control and take steps to improve their ability to live according to their values.
I explore previous relationships with people to determine how these impact their current relationship functioning.
I explore links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and help identify actionable steps to take to improve mood and functioning.
I work with each member of the relationship individually as well as working with them as a couple to identify strategies to improve the quality of their relationships with themselves and each other.
