The story of your life will lead you through many ups and downs. Sometimes, you get stuck in a low spot and cannot find a way out. At other times, a chapter ends, and you struggle to turn the page and begin the next adventure. Maybe a dark moment lives in your past but refuses to stay there. Perhaps you are a parent watching your child struggle with their own story, wishing you could just swoop in and save the day. As a former High School English teacher, I have always known the power of stories. As a counselor, my goal is to empower my clients to take control of their story and write a more hopeful future.
I listen to stories from clients of all ages, and I am passionate about empowering clients to re-author stories that contain trauma. When clients lack words, whether they are nonverbal or simply cannot find ways to express themselves, I work to help them tell and process their stories. I am especially passionate about working with children and adolescents.
My approach with children is based in speaking their natural language of play. With teenagers, I start by exploring their interests in order to engage and expand their stories. Since the client is the expert in their story, I collaborate with adults as they sort out difficult thoughts and feelings, lay to rest painful memories, and build a brighter future.
