About My Clients
My area of focus is helping people experiencing PTSD, with a specialty in childhood trauma and sexual assault. Additionally I am passionate about supporting those experiencing chronic pain. I also enjoy supporting people during transitions and times of stress as well as helping my clients to navigate their relationships.
My Background and Approach
I use a client centered approach, which means you will be in the driver's seat regarding the areas of your life that you want to discuss, and I will be your co-pilot, helping to navigate the terrain and offering you tools and wisdom along the way. My counseling approach is collaborative, genuine, and relational. I approach counseling with an unconditional positive regard for my clients. My clients would describe my style as down to earth and relatable and they often say that I "just get it". I strive to create an atmosphere that is safe and free of judgement so that you feel comfortable discussing difficult topics.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Research says that the relationship between the therapist and client is the most important part of therapy and that this is where the healing occurs. I whole heartedly believe this to be true. Though I do provide my clients with tools to incorporate into their lives, I truly believe that what they will remember about our work together is that I made them feel safe, understood, heard, seen, and cared for. I believe in meeting clients where they are at and in building a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship. Additionally, I believe most of what we struggle with is directly correlated to what we have been through and the environment around us.
