PLPC
With all the pressures of the world it is easy to get lost in the expectations of others and lose touch with yourself. I hope to offer an empathetic and non-judgmental place where you feel safe to process past trauma and the impact of oppressive systems and begin to reconnect with yourself. I utilize a trauma informed approach that allows you to take things at your own pace. I believe you are the expert on your experience and I hope to collaborate with you to establish and work towards meaningful goals.
My work is rooted in existential theory and utilizes CBT, DBT, ACT, parts work, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, Socratic questioning, and expressive arts. I am a proud member of the queer community and believe that trans rights are human rights. I believe that we must be anti-racist and work hard to dismantle the biases we hold. I strive to create a safe space for people of all identities.
I am a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) with a Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University.
