About My Clients

I have had the most effective results in tailoring therapy for each client I have served. I can assist you in your decision and achievement of treatment goals. Wanting a better quality of life and seeking guidance in that is totally normal. Frankly, reaching out for help in and of itself is terrifying; let alone help from a stranger on the internet. If you are struggling, I would be happy to hear from you. To avoid phone tag I am most accessible via e-mail.

My Background and Approach

I work with a myriad of people on a variety of issues and have been in social services 10+ years (school social work, inpatient hospital work, crisis work/detox intake in an emergency room, working in an outpatient nonprofit treatment center in the suburbs before going out on my own) and have been in private practice since 2017. I like humanistic psychology a lot and try to approach that from a trauma informed perspective. I think that generally a lot of my work is helping clients connect with themselves (them telling me about them/me getting to know the person in session) better which becomes a multi-tool for connecting to others in social/romantic/work/familial settings. This empowers clients to approach their lives from a trauma perspective having a better grasp of old needs/unmet needs and being able to advocate for themselves moving forward. I have found this improves peoples' quality of life fairly dramatically.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I personally feel very strongly about the power in communities as well as the importance of agency/autonomy for people both in and outside of sessions. It is difficult to succinctly articulate "personal beliefs" on what is ultimately an aggregate site to connect with new clients without it feeling performative, but I would like to emphasize I strive to "practice what I preach" to clients in my personal life and neighborhood. I myself have a therapist and aim to continually grow as a person and clinician. I have also found that another way I can live a full life was to get involved with a mutual aid organization focused around grocery reclamation/redistribution for the purposes of pushing back against food insecurity which is something I do on a weekly basis; this direct action certainly is good for the community but it also is a two way street in that it helps me to feel more of a part of the world around me I might not otherwise get to know. I also love Magic: The Gathering.
