About
My ideal client is one who is interested in evolving into the most authentic version of themself, however they may define it. Perhaps you need support with letting go of pain, anger or resentment from the past; maybe you need guidance on establishing healthy relationships in the present, both with others and yourself; maybe you are looking to develop useful coping skills to help manage stressors as they arise in your day-to-day life. Whatever the specific issue, my ideal client is dedicated to being a creative and collaborative participant in the counseling space and beyond. Operating from an existential-humanistic perspective, I help clients bring their awareness to the present moment, resolve past trauma, and access the agency needed to progress holistically into the future. Through a unique blend of traditional talk therapy and somatic principles, I support clients as they practice the self-compassion required to grow. If we are a good therapeutic match, I would love the chance to be part of your journey. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions, concerns, or if you need any clarifications about my services. I am here to help in any way I can. Specialties: I work with clients using a holistic, trauma-informed approach. I utilize mindfulness, somatic therapy, existential principles, empathetic confrontation, and humor when appropriate to empower clients to resolve their symptoms of distress. Credentials & Experience: I work with people struggling with significant trauma, including chronic relational trauma, substance abuse, poor anger management, anxiety, and depression. I fit particularly well with intellectualizers and people with neurodivergence, although I am adept at offering support to a myriad of clients.
