Accepting New Clients
Accepting New Clients - I firmly believe in individualized, custom care for each of my clients. Just as “one size fits all” clothing never really fits anybody there is no “no size fits all” therapy in my practice. If you are going to put your time and trust in me then the least I can do is provide customized, evidence-based care. I honor the belief that each client is an expert on him, her, or themselves. My clients are equal partners in their care. In addition to this, clients also seem to enjoy my laid-back and caring approach. I also fully believe everyone has a natural capacity to be a fully actualized and happy person. Just as our natural talents need guidance and practice, so do we as people. I work with teens and adults on a wide array of issues including, but certainly not limited to: Anxiety, depression, families of those with severe mental illness, bipolar disorder, aviation industry, self-harm, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, coping skills, multicultural therapy, stress management, life transitions, and Queer community (aka LGBTQIA+) with a particular emphasis on supporting trans persons. I'm also furry-, kink-, and poly-friendly.
Accepting New Clients
No client is an island but a connected member of a family, so I often practice therapy with parents or spouses, and siblings. My style is practical, focusing on solutions. I am creative and find it essential to evaluate each client’s unique needs in the therapy office. For example, I often use hands-on therapy, such as making art or playing, to help with expression and focus. Parenting does not come with instructions. It is mysterious. But, the smallest successes can produce a profound sense of accomplishment. Helping parents find their way through counseling and walking along side of you through that journey is my mission. View 5 Photos Personally and professionally, I learned how to navigate the school system to gain support. My school experience enables me to converse with teachers and administrators—and advocate for children. As a counselor in a school with a large caseload, I saw many students in crisis or post-trauma and helped them and their families heal from difficult experiences. I have walked in the shoes of a single mother, breast cancer survivor, and co-head of a blended family. I am married to my incredibly supportive husband and am a stepmother of three college-aged daughters. In my home, I know the sounds of the slamming doors and stomping feet. And I know how eye rolls can change the mood around the dinner table—and more.
