About My Clients
Are you entering your days with anxiety's presence lurking? Do you find yourself worrying about who you are, how you do things, or what others think of you? Are you interested in finding ways to live a more authentic life and feel more confident in who you are? These are big, important questions that I am passionate about exploring with individuals. I absolutely love helping humans increase their self-acceptance and awareness, while also building practical skills to engage in life more fully.
My Background and Approach
I first pursued further education in the field of counseling when I knew I wanted to work closely with individuals and assist them in identifying their strengths, seeing and knowing their own value and worth, finding their voice and building confidence, and learning how to manage things like anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. I work with adults primarily through a client-centered, relational, and collaborative approach in order to honor the uniqueness of each individual I see. My main goal is to assist clients in knowing themselves deeper, improving their relationships, and better managing the challenges of life before them by intentionally creating a warm and inviting presence where clients are free of judgment and can find support to explore the things in life they value most. I incorporate work from Narrative Therapy, an Attachment-Based perspective, and NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) as well.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Personally, I believe that each and every human being has value and worth. I truly think we are all doing the best we can with what we have experienced and been through in this life. I find that our deepest pains and traumas often influence how we function in the day to day. Sometimes the strategies we once needed to endure deep hurts become less effective, and even disruptive as we develop and mature throughout life. I believe a healthy therapeutic relationship and collaborative work can bring awareness and positive change to these strategies to improve one's daily functioning and relationship to themselves. I do my best to cater to each individual, meeting you where you are at in this moment, and honoring your uniqueness. I strive to be a lifelong learner and explore ways to be an equity-minded individual in my work, community, and personal life. I enjoy expanding my knowledge and awareness about cultures and belief systems outside of my own.
