My potential client should know that I let you be in the drivers seat of what you want to grow, change, add, or need support in. Think of me like the bumper rails you used when bowling - I help guide you to keep your ball from hitting the gutter and more aimed towards a strike. This is about you and I will not treat you as if I am the expert of your life. It's is your journey and I want to help equip you with skills or healing to be more of the person you desire.

I think the key component is trust. If we develop trust in our therapeutic relationship, then our communication will almost always produce great outcomes. I also believe that trust helps my clients feel that they are in a safe place, and that is what counseling should embody.

What I've found to be insightful in counseling is that everyone is unique in their journey. We all have a different take on life and that makes us so different, but alike to one another. My belief is that if a therapist believes this, they can almost always approach every client with a fresh take that is specific that human's life journey.

Over the last few years I have gained experience in working with many different populations. I have a passion for the LGBTQ+ community, minority populations, and adolescents/young adults who have experienced trauma. My work began in a college setting helping students from all nationalities. From there, I moved into a private practice setting supporting families, couples, teens, young adults, and first responders. Currently, I work with a teen population part time that is either detained for behavioral reasons in my community, or struggling with substance abuse disorders that have formed from Trauma related experiences. I have a sincere passion for trauma work that ranges from sexual experiences to environmental tragedies. In my own practice, I work with all genders, sexualities, races, cultures, and walks of life. My space should be a safe place to work through the pain and hurt that we all can endure. It can be so specific and unique to each of us, our families, and our worlds. We all struggle something and sometimes healing needs to take place so that we can enjoy the rest of our journey.
