About My Clients
I enjoy working with people on identifying the strengths that already lie within you. My goal is never to change anyone, but to empower you to live your most authentic life. I especially enjoy helping clients recovering from toxic relationships, church/religious trauma, or the pressure to suppress their authentic identity. I believe everything you need to grow is already within you. This is the process of helping you find you.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I am also certified in the Enneagram. Enneagram is all about what motivates your behavior and can show us a lot about your personality and tendencies. Putting counseling and enneagram together has been a total game changer for my clients and allows them to see themselves through a more realistic and empowering lens. Don't worry though, I won't let a test result tell you who you are--we spend plenty of time unpacking what it means to YOU. I believe we are both experts in the room--I may be a professional counselor, but you are the expert on you, and your story, and your needs, and your pain, and your goals, and more. It takes both of us.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am an Enneagram 4 which means I am most motivated by the need for authenticity. I believe all people should have the freedom to fully explore and express their identity and authenticity. Many (most) of us experienced blocks along the way that told us we couldn't or shouldn't be who actually are. Our job in therapy is to unpack all of those blocks and explore the freedom of accepting yourself. “May we find the courage to let go of who we think we’re supposed to be so that we can fully embrace our authentic selves—the imperfect, the creative, the vulnerable, the powerful, the broken, and the beautiful.” Brene Brown
