About My Clients
It is not an easy thing to feel like you never quite belong, and this can be both a wide-spread phenomenon and an intimately unique experience. Whether your sexual orientation or gender identity looks different from those around you, or you are not quite creative in a very creative household (or vice versa), or your political or religious views just don’t fit in with the community you are from or are in, I am here to hear you. I believe in the power of your voice and of your authentic self.
My Background and Approach
I graduated from the University of North Texas, with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and continued at UNT to receive a Master of Science in Counseling. I have worked with clients struggling through life transitions, cultural struggles, school and professional struggles, relationship struggles of various types, and distress with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other co-occurring disorders. I have worked with a range of adult clients, from young to elder adults, and from various walks, identities, cultures, sexual orientations, gender identities, and spiritual views. I work from a person-centered perspective, meaning I am here to learn about you, and walk with and assist you in identifying the roadblocks keeping you from your authentic path or goals. I am also here to give you compassionate care, warmth, and understanding, as well as the skills for you to be your greatest ally. I enjoy bringing in mindfulness techniques, expressive arts techniques, among others, as needed.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe every person deserves to have a space where they feel accepted and heard. It is a deep-seated need as humans to be witnessed in our life, and to feel we belong and are appreciated. I know that many people do not get that in their daily life. I want to create a safe space for any individual, of any background, to feel that they are heard in all the uniqueness a person brings in. There is so much to all of us, and I do not believe any part of you should go neglected, ignored, or is unimportant. I am here to see you, all of you, in the therapeutic relationship so that you can find the healing most beneficial for you.
