My Approach to Helping
Hello there! Thanks for visiting my profile. I have been practicing for eight years as a licensed professional counselor. I work with clients ages 18-65 and use a variety of specialized approaches depending on my client's needs. I provide support and education using a trauma-informed and responsive approach to therapy. I enjoy using a framework that focuses on wellness and self-compassion practices as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindful and somatic experiencing when appropriate. I tend to work with young adults, those struggling with women's issues, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, obesity, body image concerns, and those dealing with medical stressors and various disabilities impacting day-to-day life. I have experience with addiction, couples counseling, and career concerns. I enjoy supporting those who identify as LGBTQ+. When not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with my partner & dog, cooking, hiking, and exploring the Southwest as I relocated here about five years ago from the East Coast. If you need support and a safe space to talk about life's challenges, seeking to make slow and steady changes and overall just feel better, then this could be a good fit.
