Everyone goes through times of difficulty or feeling stuck, and I believe that healing comes from discovering your most authentic self. I know seeking a therapist can be an overwhelming task, and I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin that search. It is my highest priority in the therapeutic space to create a collaborative and creative process where the work can not only be healing, but exciting!
Some of my areas of emphasis are trauma, grief, and faith crises/transitions. I have found that these earth-bending moments touch so many other pieces of our lives that often go unexamined and can leave us feeling stuck and in pain. In order to heal these wounds, we have to carefully remove the shrapnel and take a look at what has done the harm before sealing it up again. This process takes time and attention, and is led by the individual. My other areas of emphasis are LGBTQ+ affirming counseling, ADHD and neurodivergence, anxiety, and depression.
With a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Drama Therapy, I approach therapy with a mix of person-centered, somatic, and drama therapy techniques. However, what I value most is creating a warm and trusting space where you feel heard and understood. I am passionate about reconnecting our mental health to our body, and using embodiment to create a little more distance to examine our challenges from a new perspective. However, you are the expert on yourself, so we can work together to find what works best for you! I’m here to walk alongside you and help you explore what will help you thrive. You deserve to heal and to be heard. If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out.
