We are more than our issues and bad days, but bad days suck – especially when we have a lot of them. I have found exploring all parts of you – your identity, culture, environment, attachment-styles, history, perspective, and more – empowers you to build a life that helps you navigate bad days in a way that feels “better” to you. I am a trauma-informed counselor that has walked through a wide variety of concerns, diagnoses, lifestyles, and experiences with my clients. I have found a love for working with teenagers, college students, relationships of all sorts, survivors of person-to-person harm, and transitions at any age.
I am a certified Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (C-EMDR) therapist. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Interpersonal Processing, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP II). Though I have a variety trainings, I want to get an idea of what helps you better yourself.
Creating a connection with your therapist is an important part of a therapeutic relationship that allows you to explore all aspects of your mental health with safety and trust. I tend to bring fun and connection in the room during therapy and believe there is not a wrong way to heal or grow.
