Are you wanting to make sense of past experiences and understand how they're still impacting you and your life today? Do you avoid looking in the mirror and compare yourself to other people? Are you trying to separate yourself from how you were raised to become the version of yourself you've always wanted to be? It can be overwhelming and scary to find a therapist you can share all your most personal information and stories with. But if you're looking for someone you can talk to who will be honest with you, laugh with you, and always have chocolate in stock - then we may work well together.
I am a LPC with 10 years of experience providing mental health and substance use counseling. I am passionate about working with young adults, individuals who've experienced trauma, and those struggling with body image/self-esteem. I approach mental health holistically, incorporate EMDR and Brainspotting techniques, and am Internal Family Systems informed.
I believe that the effectiveness of therapy is largely determined by the quality of the relationship between you and your therapist. I approach therapy from a place of authenticity, transparency, and compassion. I hope to build a relationship through which you can feel both safe and supported, but also challenged to fully embrace yourself and your goals.
