The therapeutic relationship is integral towards setting and achieving goals. My goal is to meet my client where they are and collaborate on ways to move forward. I welcome clients who have an idea of what they want to work on as well as those who might need more exploration and guidance. I understand that there remains a lot of stigma around mental health services, so in my practice I strive to create an open and safe space regardless of where you are on your journey.
Throughout my community mental health experience, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families. I am trained in professional counseling and focus on attachment work, processing trauma, and building somatic mindfulness to address and decrease symptoms.
As a society, we all struggle from time to time. Our experiences influence our thoughts, feelings, and sensations, that will stick with us throughout our lives. My role is to help address those barriers to healing through exploration, guidance, and feedback. My hope is to connect to those in need and foster overall wellness.
