I provide trauma-informed individual and family counseling that helps clients meet their individualized counseling goals. I have a passion for working with children and families and can address target goals such as communication, relationship building, dysregulated physiology and behaviors, anxiety, depression, trauma-related issues, etc.
I love helping children, family, and adults see their competency and achieve their goals. I use a trauma informed approach that prioritizes regulation and emotional safety in session.
At Taking Chances Counseling, PLLC we believe in helping people see what they are already doing well while providing tools, education, and techniques to regulate the body and learn about themselves.
