Client populations
-
The majority of my client population has been with young adults since I started counseling. I love working with young adults exploring their own identity as they transition through college, their early career, significant relationships, and life transitions. I’ve found in my work with young adults that there is an immense opportunity for therapy at this stage in life to explore the narratives we’re given, what’s working, what we hope to change, do differently, and how we can grow towards a life that feels authentic. If you’re a young adult hoping to explore ways to shed those mistaken beliefs, anxieties no longer serving you, and discover ways to begin approaching the life you want to live, I would love to hear from you and learn more about what you’d like to meet for.
-
The majority of my client population and clinical experience over the last few years has been working with women. I love working with women who are hoping to dive deeper into their most authentic self and way of being in the world that feels most fulfilling to them. My work with women includes trauma informed and responsive EMDR, exploration of relationship patterns, relational OCD and anxiety, relational and communication skill building and exploration, anxiety, and career exploration. If these are areas of your life you’d like to talk more about, I would love to hear from you and learn more about how we can work together to build an approach to your life that works best for you.

Working with individuals hoping to explore their identity and determine what is best for them includes any individual looking to gain insight and adaptive processing of learned and internalized beliefs and ways of approaching relationships, life, and internal conflict. So much of what we are told and the messaging we receive growing up stays with us as a sort of script. Then, one day, we often notice our skills we developed to help us move forward in life might be getting in the way of us being us. If you’d like to meet to explore what is working, what’s getting in your way, and how you’d rather live and experience your life in a way that feels deeply authentic, functional, and fulfilling, I would love to talk more and see how I can help.

I love working with individuals coming in to discuss and explore their relationships. Our relationships with ourselves, our partners, family members, friends, environment, habits, and so much more, inform our lives and can have the greatest impact on how we experience life day to day. As a relational therapist I deeply value the therapeutic relationships clients and I build through our work together and find this area of my work has had an immense immense impact informing my work, continuing my education, and helping clients find healing and happiness in their own relationships outside of our sessions. If you’re hoping to explore your relationships further, I would love to hear from you and learn more about how my experience and specialties can help you build a way of experiencing your relationships that feels truly authentic and fulfilling.
